very well preserved.

The Church of Santa Cruz, which today houses the Museum of the Holy Week of Medina de Rioseco. Above a previous Gothic church, it was built at the end of the 16th century, designed by Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, highlighting the Italian Jesuitic style façade with Herrerian influences. At the doors of the church we find a monument to Holy Week.

It was built in the 15th century by the Vivero family, nobles of Galician origin, as a stately residence. The castle is modeled after the Valladolid school and was conceived more as a residence than as a military fortress. Throughout its history, it has had various palatial uses and was also the headquarters of the Cortes of Castilla y León. Currently, it has been restored and converted into a medieval museum. This castle, which was the headquarters of the Cortes of Castilla y León between 1983 and 2007, is property of the Provincial Council of Valladolid and is currently used as an interpretation center for the castles. 🏰🌟

The local congregation has dedicated this church not to one of the (almost infinite) saints, but to "Santa Cruz" as its patron saint. Perhaps a brief stop for hikers or walkers is the appropriate time for a brief meditation and a prayer to God. I would therefore like to invite you to prayerfully contemplate God's infinite love for us humans, revealed in Christ nailed to the wood of the cross. Perhaps a quote from the Spanish order's founder, Ignatius of Loyola (1491 to 1556), may be helpful: + "Trust in God is most exalted precisely where human hopes sink most deeply. For where all human help gives way, there it makes way for divine help."

Built in the 13th century, this castle was never conquered due to its imposing walls. It passed into the hands of the Dukes of Alburquerque and played an important role in the confrontations between Pedro I and the followers of Enrique de Trastámara. During the War of the Communities, the castle served as a refuge for the community members. It is one of the most impressive medieval fortifications in the province of Valladolid.

Castromonte stands on the remains of an ancient Roman fortress, hence its name. In the town, the impressive Parochial Church of the Purísima Concepción de Nuestra Señora stands out, built in stone, masonry, mud wall and brick in the 16th century.

Fortification built in the 15th century, it stands out for its elegant Gothic architecture and its imposing keep. This castle has witnessed numerous events over the centuries, it was here that the Catholic Monarchs signed their betrothal on October 18, 1469. The castle has stood the test of time with pride.

This castle has a long and interesting history like many others, but this one wasn't really open to the public until 2012. It's worth a visit if you're in the area.
