San Miguel Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Surprising temple on the banks of the Carrión River. In fact, its best view is obtained from the cycle-pedestrian walkway over the river.
Religious construction that confirms the transition between the Romanesque and the incipient Gothic. Its most outstanding element is, surely, the openwork tower located on the main façade, whose height reaches 70 meters and its appearance invites the visitor to imagine a defensive or military use.
It was built on the remains of a previous construction, at the beginning of the 11th century.

Puente de Puentecillas

Highlight • Bridge

A bridge of Roman origin, renovated in the 15th century, which was an important enclave in the development of road and commercial networks from the Vaccean period to the beginning of the 20th century. There are no remains of its Roman origin, but its layout from medieval times. Currently, pilgrimages and medieval markets are held in its surroundings.

Monument to Victorio Macho Working on the Cristo del Otero

Palencia Museum / Casa del Cordón

Highlight • Historical Site

The Museum of Palencia is located in the Casa del Cordón, the only civil monument from the 16th century in Renaissance style that can be seen today in the city. The palace was commissioned as a residence in the city by Francisco Núñez de Paz, lawyer, rapporteur of the Royal Council of Castile, attorney and business agent of Hernán Cortés in Spain, and his wife Isabel Rodríguez Monroy, from Palencia. The most notable element of the palace is the façade, which features the coats of arms of the promoter family. The façade is framed by a semicircular arch and a Franciscan cord carved like an alfiz that gives its name to the palace.

The building was rehabilitated and expanded in the 80s of the last century in an interesting project by architect Luis Arranz. The museum distributes its collections over two floors and a basement with several rooms that bring together an excellent collection of pieces that cover Prehistory (through a selection of objects found in sites such as Los Llanos, La Velilla, La Huelga, Paredes de Nava or Monte Bernorio), the Celtiberian Culture (thanks to a sample of weapons, jewels and utensils left by the Vaccean and Cantabrian peoples), Roman Hispania (among whose treasures the mosaic of Oceanus and the Nereids found in the thermal baths of Villa Possidica, Dueñas) and the Middle Ages.

Puente Mayor de Palencia

Highlight • Bridge

Masonry bridge erected in the 16th century and renovated at the end of the 19th century. The Puente Mayor crosses the Carrión River in Palencia, connecting the city center with the Allende El Río neighborhood. Originally made up of seven semicircular arches and prismatic cutwaters, it was later extended to allow road traffic. It currently has semi-cylindrical pillars and cutwaters with machicolation-shaped finishes, providing a fortified appearance.
