Plaza Mayor

Castilla y León


At the top of the village, this striking town square is surrounded by some fine historical buildings. The 17th-century ayuntamiento (town hall) has a lovely arched facade and faces across the square to Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Azogue, a pretty village church dating to the 12th century.
