Medina del Campo information
The town, which has been declared to be a Historic-Artistic
Site, has a magnificent collection of monuments and picturesque
corners.
On a corner of the arcaded main square is the house where Isabel
la Católica died in 1504. Her statue stands outside this
historic enclave. Touring the town also reveals other treasures,
such as the palace of the Dueñas family, a Renaissance-plateresque
building with beautiful coffered ceilings and cloisters, which
was once the residence of Carlos I; the extraordinary 16th-century
Gothic collegiate church of San Antolín, outstanding on
the outside of which is the Pópulo balcony and its tower,
while on the inside there is a splendid high relief by Juan de
Juni; or the hospital of Simón Ruíz; as well as
several churches from the 16th century.
