San Esteban de Gormaz

San Esteban de Gormaz extends between the Duero River and a small hill, featuring two Romanesque churches and a medieval castle at its highest point.

The town held the first Cortes of Castile in 1187, marking a significant moment in Spanish governmental development and regional administration.

The Church of San Miguel, built in 1081, represents the earliest example of arcaded Romanesque architecture in the Soria Province.

The municipality connects to multiple settlements through a network of roads, with the nearest major city, Soria, located 70 kilometers to the east.

A medieval bridge with sixteen arches spans across the Duero River, linking the northern and southern sections of the historical trading route.
