Calle de la Platería

The street features uniformly designed buildings with red and gray adobe exteriors, iron balconies, and wooden frames painted in green tones.

Following the devastating fire of 1561, architect Francisco de Salamanca reconstructed the street under Philip II's orders, establishing new standards for Spanish urban planning.

The Iglesia de la Vera Cruz, located at the street's end, houses the oldest Holy Week brotherhood in Valladolid, dating from the 15th century.

The pedestrian pathway connects the Plaza Mayor to Plaza del Ochavo, offering direct access to numerous commercial establishments and historical buildings.

Metal rings embedded in building walls mark where chains once stretched across the street, allowing silversmiths to secure their area at night.
