The best traffic-free bike rides around Villaverde De Medina

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.

Church of San Juan in Nava del Rey (Valladolid): Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, it incorporates the work of several architects: Juan Campero (apse and side chapels, early 16th century) and Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón (from 1560). After the tower collapsed in 1663, destroying the rear section, choir, and organ, it was rebuilt, and Juan de Revilla completed the new tower in 1702.

The bridge spans the Zapardiel River, on the old road that connected the now-abandoned village of Zofraga with Rueda, in the province of Valladolid. It played an important role in connecting Zofraga (abandoned after an epidemic) with Rueda, allowing the abandoned inhabitants to reach the town and carry out their agricultural work.

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Rueda (Valladolid) is a prominent 18th-century Baroque church that, together with its Renaissance tower, shines in the heart of the town. 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.

This is a Renaissance building constructed in the 16th century. It was designed by Luis de Vega, who was the architect of Charles V. Importantly, the Marquis of Ensenada lived in exile and died in this building in December 1781.

This Gothic-style building began construction in 1503, although, as is often the case with such complex structures, it wasn't completed until almost two centuries later. It is a relatively large church, notable for the balcony of the Virgin of the People and the clock tower. The main entrance dates from the 18th century, while the side entrance is from the 16th.
