Built in the 16th century by Diego Beltrán, a nobleman and member of the Royal Council of the Indies, around 1528–1533, on a site previously used on Santiago Street. Its design is attributed to the royal architect Luis de Vega. From 1602 to 1604, it housed the Royal Chancery; later, it served as the residence of the Marquis of Ensenada during his exile. In 1916, it was acquired by the Marquises of Argüeso; in 1950, it passed into the hands of the State and was used as a vocational institute, currently functioning as an educational center.

It was the second foundation established by Saint Teresa of Ávila as part of the Carmelite reform, officially founded on August 15, 1567, thanks to houses donated by María Juárez de Herrera. Over the following decade, the convent was expanded by acquiring adjacent land. In 1654, the architect Mateo Martínez reinforced the structures and added another story to the cloister. Here, Saint Teresa first met Saint John of the Cross, who had been living in another local Carmelite convent since 1563.

Parish Church of Santiago el Real, in Medina del Campo. Medieval origins: a church dedicated to Saint James already existed in 1177, located on Santa Teresa Street. It was renovated in the 16th century and used until 1770. The current building was initially the church of the Jesuit novitiate dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. The first stone was laid in July 1553 by Saint Francis Borgia, and it was opened for worship around 1563. After the expulsion of the Jesuits, around 1770 it became the parish church of Saint James, retaining only the church from the original complex. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest on January 18, 1968 (RI-51-0003793).

Also known as the Main Parish Church of San Antolín. The original parish dates back to 1177, founded by settlers from the north (Palencia) and dedicated to Saint Antolín. In 1480, the Catholic Monarchs obtained a papal bull from Pope Sixtus IV elevating its status to a collegiate church with a free abbey. Construction of the current church began in 1502 and continued into the 18th century, with prominent architects such as Juan Gil de Hontañón, Rodrigo Gil, and the Gutiérrez brothers. It lost its collegiate church status in 1851, becoming simply the main parish church.
