Declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) on December 7, 1983, this church is located in the heart of Tordesillas (Valladolid), one of the town's most iconic landmarks and the largest in the entire municipality. It is believed to have been built on the site of the former Tordesillas mosque. The main construction took place between the 16th and 17th centuries, with additions continuing into the 18th century. The church combines Gothic elements (the apse and the lower sections of the tower) with Neoclassical renovations inspired by El Escorial. Today, it serves as the headquarters for several Holy Week brotherhoods, housing processional floats such as the Virgin of Solitude and the Christ of Mercy.

It was designed by the architect Manuel Serrano and built in the mid-18th century; the main portal and altarpiece are attributed to Pedro de Sierra. The five-tiered tower dates from the earlier Renaissance construction and was preserved in the new structure. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest (monument) on October 17, 2013.

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.

The medieval bridge over the Duero River, with its perfectly aligned arches, connects the historic center to the opposite bank. The monumental skyline of Tordesillas, highlighting the Plaza Mayor, the Casas del Tratado (Houses of the Treaty), and the Monastery of Santa Clara, all framed by reddish rooftops and the silhouette of the Church of San Antolín. The Duero River winds beneath the bridge, its reflections shifting with the changing light, creating a highly photogenic scene. Natural surroundings: riverside vegetation and, in autumn, golden hues that enhance the scenery.
