The Plaza Mayor of Ciudad Rodrigo is the historical and social heart of the city, with a rich history that reflects its importance as an urban center: Since the Middle Ages, the Plaza Mayor has been the hub of public life: markets, proclamations, and council meetings were held there in the cloister of the former Church of San Juan. In the 16th century, public butcher shops were built, and it became a consolidated space for commercial and festive activities. Until then, the square was home to the Three Roman Columns, a vestige of the ancient Miróbriga, which had been a symbol of the city since the 13th century. In 1580, the square was expanded, incorporating the space that once housed the old prison and the Audiencia (Courthouse). It even had corridors for watching bullfights, a tradition that continues during carnivals.

Historical town from the Middle Ages with a city wall is well worth seeing. We spent one night right in the central square of the city. The square offers several opportunities to eat and sit outside. 👍

Sanctí-Spiritus is a town whose history goes back to the 12th century. It belongs to the region of the legendary Ciudad Rodrigo. It is one of the largest municipalities in the province, although the town has only 840 inhabitants. As a curiosity: there are several towns with the same name in the world, for example in Cuba and Argentina.

The history of this town begins to be written around the 12th century, when the growing kingdom of León del Norte and the Muslims, increasingly divided, from the South disputed this no man's land and border, as it was considered strategic for the interests of each.

Its name, according to legend, long ago there was a dark forest, in the direction of Tenebrón (hence the name) where there were many wolves, and when someone went to a certain place through this dark forest, they were told God Save Him so that God protect him along the way.
