Medina del Campo

La Mota Castle stands on a hill overlooking Medina del Campo, featuring defensive walls, a moat, and a central tower reaching 40 meters high.

The town gained prominence during the 15th and 16th centuries through international trade fairs attracting merchants from Portugal, Italy, and Flanders trading wool and textiles.

The Gothic Collegiate Church of San Antolin contains artworks from the 16th century, including a high relief by sculptor Juan de Juni.

The Plaza Mayor connects to multiple monuments, including the Palacio Testamentario where Queen Isabel wrote her final testament in the 13th century.

Las Reales Carnicerías, constructed in 1500, remains the only Renaissance building in town still serving its original purpose as a market hall.
