The best traffic-free bike rides around Siete Iglesias De Trabancos

It was built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries by Commander Fernán (Hernán) Rodríguez de Valbuena, becoming a funerary chapel for the Order. For centuries, it served as a fortified church overlooking the Duero River, and was linked to the now-vanished castle and other medieval chapels in the town. It suffered several collapses in the 19th and 20th centuries, until the original ruins had practically disappeared; the current structure is the one dedicated to Santa María del Castillo (Saint Mary of the Castle).

Hermitage of Santa María del Castillo (also known as the Hermitage of Santo Cristo or the Church of the Order of Saint John) in Castronuño: Located on Alto de la Muela, on the banks of the Duero River in Castronuño (Valladolid). A medieval building originally linked to the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, which established a commandery here.

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 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.

The view of the Stone Bridge and Tordesillas from the viewpoint on Avenida de Portugal is considered one of the most beautiful panoramas of the town.

The historic center of Tordesillas is one of the most emblematic ensembles in Castile and León, steeped in history and traditional architecture.
