Estuvo situada durante siglos en tierra de nadie durante la época de al-Andalus, y fue fundada tras la toma de Toledo (año 1085). Alcanzó su máximo esplendor en el siglo XV, y fue una de las ciudades en las que la reina Isabel la Católica solía vivir. Luego, dedicada a la agricultura, ha pasado siglos de decadencia...

Arévalo es una de las capitales del mudéjar en Castilla. Pero yo no lo llamaría mudéjar, es simplemente románico pero hecho con ladrillo, y en algunos casos sí algún rasgo mudéjares como los arcos enmarcados en alfiz.

El casco histórico de Arévalo se articula en torno a tres plazas. Esta es la del Arrabal, que estaba fuera del recinto amurallado.

Por desgracia la muralla de Arévalo la derribaron entera a principios del siglo XX cuando no se valoraba lo medieval... Esta es la puerta de Alcocer, la única conservada, con una estatua de Isabel la Católica.

A las afueras de Arévalo (a 2 km) está la ermita de la Lugareja, que en realidad es el ábside de un convento que acabó en ruinas. Es del siglo XII, considerada uno de los monumentos más importantes del románico-mudéjar de Castilla.

Gracias! Y sí, ahora le toca a Madrigal :icon_biggrin:

Madrigal de las Altas Torres tiene unos 1.500 habitantes, y está en la misma comarca que Arévalo, la Moraña.

Su importancia reside sobre todo en que fue aquí nació la reina Isabel la Católica. Lo de "Altas Torres" no lo veo porque yo creo que solo hay una :lol:

Madrigal de las Altas Torres fue una pequeña ciudad que creció por el auge de Arévalo, amurallada completamente, y que tuvo impulso sobre todo porque los Trastámara instalaron aquí su palacio real en el siglo XIV. Poco después fue reconvertido en monasterio, y así es como nos ha llegado.

La plaza mayor. A la derecha el ayuntamiento, y a la izquierda la iglesia de San Nicolás. De aquí viene las "Altas Torres", porque la torre de la iglesia mide casi 50 metros de altura.

Medina del Campo es ya parte de la provincia de Valladolid. Valladolid durante los siglos XV y XVI fue la ciudad más importante de Castilla y capital de España durante varios momentos. Y Medina del Campo fue muy importante, hasta la guerra de las Comunidades. Ahora tiene 20.000 habitantes.

En la esquina de la Plaza Mayor se encuentra el Palacio Real Testamentario, llamado así porque fue aquí donde la reina Isabel la Católica firmó su testamento en 1504.

Este es el balcón del Concejo, en la colegiata. Es un balcón construido en 1520 que da a la plaza, y es importante porque en día de feria o mercado el cura daba el sermón desde aquí a los que estaban en la calle.

Pero el edificio más importante de Medina del Campo es el castillo de la Mota. El castillo existía desde el siglo XI, aunque la mayor parte de lo que se ve es del siglo XV. Durante esos años sirvió de cárcel real para personajes como Hernando Pizarro (hermano de Francisco Pizarro, conquistador de Perú), César Borgia (hijo del papa Borgia), etc.

Toro es una pequeña ciudad de la provincia de Zamora de más de 9.000 habitantes. Ahora es un pueblo, pero a lo largo de la historia ha sido una de las ciudades más importantes de Castilla (y antes de León, antes de que se unificasen).

(http://i.imgur.com/07RtQqa.png)

De hecho durante tres siglos y hasta 1804 tuvo su propia provincia, la provincia de Toro, siendo la única que desapareció en el siglo XIX. Incluía territorios de Zamora, Cantabria, Palencia y Valladolid.

El alcázar de Toro fue construido en el siglo X, pero ahora tras siglos de deterioro no es más alto que la mayoría de las casas... El alcázar y la propia ciudad de Toro también son importantes en la historia de España, porque en el año 1476 tuvo lugar la batalla de Toro, entre los Reyes Católicos y Alfonso V de Portugal. Esta batalla acabó con las aspiraciones al trono de Castilla de Juana la Beltraneja y su marido Alfonso V de Portugal.

La colegiata es sin duda el monumento más importante de Toro. Tiene uno de los cimborrios románicos del Duero, como son conocidos, junto con los de Zamora, Plasencia y Salamanca. La colegiata se construyó hacia el año 1200.

Pero la joya de la colegiata, además del cimborrio, es el pórtico de la Majestad. Se hizo entre 1284 y 1295 y sin embargo su escultura es muy románica, muy desfasada para esa época. Pero su atractivo y su encanto es sobre todo que conserva toda la pintura original.

La casa pertenecía a Juan de Monroy y Antona García, la cual fue colgada en la reja de su casa por ser leal a Isabel la Católica en vez de a Juana la Beltraneja. Tras la victoria de la batalla de Toro por las tropas de Isabel, ordenó dorar la reja en memoria de la ajusticiada.

Coca es un pueblo en el noroeste de la provincia de Segovia, en la comarca de Tierra de Pinares. Es un pueblo de 2.000 habitantes que históricamente ha vivido de los pinos: la resina, la madera...

(http://i.imgur.com/AT50Zz0.png)

A las afueras está el puente ferroviario sobre el río Voltoya. La línea que pasaba por aquí era la línea Segovia-Medina del Campo (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=124186239#post124186239), inaugurada en 1884. En el año 1993 se cerró la línea y ya no quedan ni las vías. Al lado pasa el AVE Madrid-Valladolid, que lógicamente no para.

El objetivo fundamental de los turistas que se acercan a Coca es su castillo. Uno de los más impresionantes de la zona, una inmensa mole de ladrillo con foso, doble muro, torre del homenaje... Se construyó entre 1460 y 1493 para el obispo de Ávila, Alonso de Fonseca.

A 30 km de Coca se encuentra Cuéllar, y está a medio camino entre Segovia y Valladolid (50 km a cada una). Tiene casi 10.000 habitantes, y de siempre ha sido la segunda ciudad en importancia de la provincia de Segovia.

Tiene muchas iglesias fuera del recinto amurallado, en torno a la que se formaban barrios o arrabales. Esta es la del Salvador, del siglo XII-XIII como casi todas las otras, en la época de esplendor de Cuéllar.

Lo más peculiar es el ábside de ladrillo. Como en el siglo XVIII se le cambió la cubierta original por una barroca de yeso, hubo que colocar estos contrafuertes para contrarrestar los empujes.

A diferencia de Coca (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=124290314#post124290314), la mayor parte del caserío de Cuéllar sí es bonito, no solo los edificios monumentales, que los hay y muchos.

El palacio de don Pedro I es un palacio románico del siglo XII-XIII, de los pocos conservados en toda Europa. Tiene este nombre porque aquí pasó su noche de bodas el rey Pedro I el Cruel (o el Justiciero, según a quién se pregunte) tras casarse en Cuéllar en 1354.

La iglesia de San Andrés para mí es la más especial de las iglesias mudéjares de Cuéllar. Tanto los muros laterales como la fachada principal tiene una completa decoración de ladrillo bastante variada, aunque las puertas son románicas con arquivoltas.

La escuela de gramática fue un colegio fundado en 1424 fundado para la educación de todos los niños de Cuéllar. Los pobres estudiaban gratuitamente, mientras que los acomodados sí estaban obligados a pagar. Y entre otros, aquí estudió el cardenal Cisneros de los 7 a los 10 años.

Delante del castillo hay una gran explanada. La última vez que fui tuve la mala suerte de que había una gran feria de vehículos con carpas, y fastidiaba la perspectiva... aunque es precisamente por lo que se ha conservado una explanada tan grande dentro del recinto amurallado, porque es donde durante siglos se han organizado ferias y mercados.

Peñafiel es un pueblo de más de 5.000 habitantes al este de Valladolid, cerca de la frontera con la provincia de Burgos.

El sitio más bonito: la plaza del Coso, con el castillo al fondo, el barco de Castilla.

Está rodeado de casas con balcones de madera, pero casi ninguna tiene puerta que de a la plaza. Los balcones sirven porque aquí desde que la plaza existe se celebran eventos. Entre otros, corridas de toros.

El Campillo es un pequeño pueblo (40 habitantes) a 20 kilómetros de Zamora donde hay una pequeña iglesia, la iglesia de San Pedro de la Nave. Pero importante, porque es una iglesia (seguramente de un monasterio que hoy no se conserva) visigoda del siglo VII.

En uno de ellos se representa a Daniel en el foso rodeado de leones. Los visigodos eran un pueblo bárbaro, pero el más romanizado de todos ellos. Como pueblo nómada hasta que se asentaron en la península Ibérica, para ellos eran muy importantes las piezas que podían llevar consigo como telas, escapularios y demás, y es eso precisamente lo que copian en sus relieves: telas persa-sasánidas, camafeos bizantinos...

Los otros dos no tienen escenas bíblicas pero también son muy bonitos. Temas de pavos, vides... son motivos ornamentales persas, que luego pasaron al mundo bizantino y al mundo cristiano. Las vides representan a Cristo mediante la comunión (el vino), y los apavos son los cristianos que a través de él llegan al jardín, al paraíso.

Y a la entrada tras cruzar el puente medieval, un monumento al toro de la Vega, quizá por lo que es más conocida Tordesillas... Es un torneo que se ha venido celebrando desde tiempos medievales, donde el toro sale desde el pueblo hasta el campo, y ahí hombres con lanzas a caballo y también a pie, le daban muerte... y el que le da la lanzada mortal es el héroe del pueblo.
Es un tema tabú en el pueblo, donde el apoyo es mayoritario, y que por la fuerte presión mediática el último año ya fue sustituido por una especie de encierro acompañando al toro al campo, pero sin muerte. Una actualización de una tradición difícilmente justificable en pleno siglo XXI.

En el siglo XIV había aquí una serie de palacios mudéjares construidos durante la época de Alfonso XI y Pedro I (de 1311 a 1363), que fueron donados para la construcción de un gran convento, y conservando algunas partes y rehaciendo otras con el paso de los siglos es lo que se conserva hoy día.

El exterior es sobrio, pero lo primero que destaca es esta portada mudéjar, que fue la fachada principal del antiguo palacio. Se piensa que este es el precedente inmediato de la fachada de los Reales Alcázares de Sevilla, y es un esquema que ha sido copiado en la mayoría de palacios mudéjares castellanos como en Astudillo (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=133779061#post133779061), Toledo o Sevilla.

Dentro del convento está prohibido hacer fotos y además la visita es guiada... solo pude hacer 2, pero voy a intentar completar el recorrido con las escasísimas fotos que hay en internet.
Detrás de esa portada mudéjar está el vestíbulo del antiguo palacio. Es un pequeño espacio cuadrado, la bóveda es del siglo XV, pero se conservan los arcos polilobulados originales del XIV y las yeserías mudéjares con escenas de caza, caballeros, animales fantásticos... al convertirse en convento, en los huecos se incluyeron pinturas religiosas a finales del XIV.

Lo siguiente que se ve es el patio árabe, un pequeño patio mudéjar también perteneciente al palacio, con dos lados de arcos de herradura y los otros dos con arcos polilobulados.

El antiguo gran patio del palacio mudéjar desapareció en los siglos XVI y XVII, cuando el rigor del clima hizo que construyesen un gran patio herreriano.

Hay más estancias que no hay fotos en internet como el refectorio, el zaguán, antecoro... Esta es la iglesia conventual, con una techumbre de madera mudéjar hecha hacia 1450.

Hay otro arco mudéjar conservado de las galerías del antiguo palacio, hay un par de capillas (una de ellas toda cubierta de pinturas), etc... pero no hay ni fotos en internet. Así de cazurros somos en España, "prohibido hacer fotos... no sea que la gente las vea y le entren ganas de venir a ver el convento". No es culpa de Tordesillas, es culpa del propietario: Patrimonio Nacional.

No hay más grandes monumentos en el pueblo, eso es verdad, pero sí es un pueblo bonito, con una configuración peculiar.

Por ejemplo la Plaza Mayor, completamente soportalada y muy homogénea. Y no solo eso, sino que sigue el esquema de las ciudades romanas, un esquema que luego los españoles implantaron en las Indias en todas las ciudades coloniales... pero que muy pocas veces se hicieron en España. Es una plaza con cuatro calles que parten del centro de cada lateral.

Uclés es una de las escapadas turísticas típicas de los madrileños para pasar el día. Es un pueblo muy pequeño, de apenas 200 habitantes en la provincia de Cuenca, a 90 km de la ciudad de Madrid, pero es un lugar fundamental para Castilla.

(http://i.imgur.com/yCEAxmY.png)

Uclés fue un importante bastión musulmán desde el siglo IX, pero su historia se empezó a construir cuando Alfonso VIII en el año 1174 cedió la villa de Uclés a la Orden de Santiago en agradecimiento por la toma de Cuenca, y estos la convirtieron en su casa prioral, la sede de la orden. Fue fundada en el año 1170 con el objetivo de la lucha contra los musulmanes y recuperar territorios de la península para la cristiandad.

De esta sede militar de Santiago se conservan varios lienzos de muralla, aunque lo que es el primitivo convento de la orden fue demolido y construido uno nuevo en el siglo XVI.

La fachada trasera es una de las partes más antiguas del actual convento. Las órdenes militares ya no eran importantes al haberse conquistado el último reino musulmán en 1492, y acumulaban enormes territorios, dinero y poder. Por orden papal, las órdenes militares (Santiago, Calatrava y Alcántara) se incorporaron a la corona en 1523 y desde entonces el gran maestre de todas las órdenes fue el rey, en este caso Carlos V. En 1529 se empieza la construcción del nuevo convento.

También es conocido como "el Escorial de la Mancha", por las dimensiones e importancia del convento. Esta fachada es puramente plateresca, con ventanas con decoración renacentista, aunque no hay una simetría... los detalles renacentistas son más decorativos que a todos los niveles.

Esta portada churrigueresca es obra de Pedro de Ribera, el arquitecto más abigarrado de todo el barroco español. De hecho en vez de churrigueresco, debería llamarse riberesco :lol:

Pila de agua hecha en jaspe con la cruz de Santiago. La cruz de Santiago está presente en todo el monasterio, ya que es el símbolo de la Orden de Santiago. Es una combinación entre cruz y espada, lo que mejor simboliza a una orden militar... mitad religiosos, mitad guerreros.

Y en uno de ellos no se representa su efigie... sino un esqueleto. Es el maestre de la orden don Álvaro de Luna, uno de los personajes más importantes de su tiempo como maestre de Santiago y Condestable de Castilla. Al caer en desgracia fue ejecutado en 1453, y la inscripción "Vosotros nobles barones, sabed que a nadie respeto", lo que significa que a todos llega la muerte...

Segóbriga fue una de las ciudades romanas más importantes de la meseta castellana, fue perdiendo importancia con los visigodos, y en época musulmana quedó abandonada y no se descubrió hasta el siglo XVIII. Ahora hay un parque arqueológico con un centro de interpretación donde se reúnen algunas de las piezas encontradas.

Anteriormente fue una ciudad celtibérica, pero desde el año 80 a.C. pasó a ser ciudad romana. Su riqueza se basó en la minería: el lapis specularis. Es un yeso translúcido que se utilizaba como cristal de las ventanas. Plinio dice "la más traslúcida de esta piedra se obtiene en la Hispania Citerior, cerca de la ciudad de Segóbriga y se extrae de pozos profundos."

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/Lapis_specularis.jpg/220px-Lapis_specularis.jpg)

De hecho se está intentando abrir al turismo alguna de las minas de lapis specularis que hay en los pueblos alrededor de Segóbriga.

Lo primero que se puede ver al acceder al recinto son los cimientos de la basílica visigoda construida en el siglo VI. Segóbriga con el cristianismo fue diócesis, por lo que esta era en realidad la catedral visigoda.

Y este es el acueducto. No es un viaducto, que es lo que la gente suele entender, sino una conducción de agua subterránea. El agua iba por una cañería de plomo recubierta de hormigón. Los romanos no lo sabían, pero el plomo es muy tóxico por lo que todos los ciudadanos eran envenenados lentamente.

La necrópolis principal, donde se expone la lápida más singular encontrada. Y es de una esclava llamada Iucunda, que murió a los 16 años de edad. Por lo que dice y como se la representa, era una música que tocaba la cítara. Concretamente dice:

"No tendrá que añorar tras su muerte a sus hijos perdidos.
Para Iucunda, esclava de Manio Valerio Vitulo e hija de Nigella.
Desahuciada al acercarme a mis 16 años, cedí, vencida, al peso de mi destino. He aquí lo que puede abatir tu corazón, lector, la causa prematura, lamentable de mi sepultura.

Pero, llegada a mi fin, descanso en un lugar querido, antes de que las enfermedades destruyeran mi cuerpo con violencia de un tumor intolerable para cualquiera, ahora, libre de preocupaciones, reposo bajo la hierba ligera.

Ahora os toca a vosotros el cuidado de mi sepultura, padres, querido esposo, adiós para siempre.
Que a mí no me pese la tierra y a vosotros los dioses os sean favorables. Sé propicia para esta citareda, como también Febo lo fue mientras viví"

Y ya más alante la propia ciudad romana, con el teatro a la izquierda y el anfiteatro a la derecha.

El anfiteatro.

El anfiteatro. Mide 75 metros de largo y tiene capacidad para 5.500 espectadores. Se sabe que en Segóbriga sobre todo el espectáculo que se hacía, además de los gladiadores, era de pelea de animales: osos contra toros, etc.

Todavía falta mucho por excavar, y cada vez se está "musealizando" más... sinceramente el anfiteatro me gustaba más antes, sin tanto cordoncito ni valla.

Se conservan entre otras cosas las celdas donde se guardaban los animales salvajes y los gladiadores antes de salir a la arena.

El teatro romano es de los mejor conservados de España. Los graderíos aprovechan la pendiente del terreno. Yo he tenido la suerte de ver varias representaciones de teatro sentado ahí mismo cuando iba al instituto :)

A tan solo 13 km de Segóbriga, hay otra ruina más moderna. Es el castillo de la Puebla de Almenara. Era una fortaleza árabe pero fue tomada por la orden de Santiago en el año 1177.

Y el patio. El castillo tuvo una gran reforma y restauración en el siglo XIX (entre 1857 y 1870) llevada a cabo por Eugenia de Montijo, emperatriz de Francia al estar casada con Napoleón III. Y uno de los más reformados fue el patio.

La capilla del castillo tiene el artesonado original más valioso. Es un artesonado gótico flamígero con una decoración muy del norte de Europa.

Y aquí en Belmonte murió "el tío Camuñas". En algunos sitios de España se utiliza como sinónimo de "el hombre del saco", pero en realidad fue un guerrillero en la Guerra de Independencia que fue apresado y ejecutado aquí en 1811.

La pieza más importante es el coro, obra del arquitecto de origen flamenco Egas Cueman. Es la sillería original de la catedral de Cuenca, que en el siglo XVIII fue trasladada hasta aquí.

Con esto termina mi periplo por Belmonte!

Peñaranda de Duero es un pequeño pero espectacular pueblo en el sur de la provincia de Burgos. Tiene cerca de 600 habitantes.

Detrás de esa puerta, se vislumbra una de las plazas más bonitas y auténticas de toda España.

La plaza es una auténtica maravilla. A la izquierda, el palacio de Avellaneda, uno de los mejores palacios renacentistas de España. Al fondo, en lo alto del cerro, el castillo medieval. Al frente, casas de arquitectura popular. A la derecha, la colegiata gótica y un rollo de justicia, y a la derecha más casas.

El rollo jurisdiccional es uno de los más elegantes y esbeltos de España. Fue construido a finales del siglo XV, con un estilo claramente gótico flamígero.

La ex-colegiata se empezó a construir en 1540 mezclando estructuras del gótico final con detalles renacentistas.

Pero la joya de Peñaranda es su palacio de Avellaneda, un palacio renacentista construido entre 1530-1550 para Francizco de Zúñiga, tercer conde de Miranda. Eran también los señores del castillo desde el siglo XIV, y con los nuevos tiempos en el siglo XVI establecieron su nueva residencia en el llano.

Como señor del renacimiento, tanto la portada como el patio tiene un programa iconográfico que mezcla temas mitológicos (como este Hércules), religiosos, heráldicos y humanistas.
