14의 벨몬테 데 캄포스가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Lock No. 7 and the flour mill in Medina de Rioseco are part of the valuable industrial and hydraulic heritage of the Canal de Castilla, one of the most important engineering works of the 18th century in Spain.

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.

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.

Medina de Rioseco is known as the seat of the Admiralty of Castilla, the city has a rich history that goes back to the Vacceos, Celts, Romans. Located next to the sequillo river, I recommend you tour the town by bike and visit the Church of Santiago Apóstol.

If you are following the canal, this is the last lock before reaching Medina de Rioseco. Here is also the old flour factory.

13th century fortification also known as Castillo de los Alburquerque. It is a building with square shapes and high walls located on top of a small hill in the town of Montealegre de Campos.
