It was built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries by Commander Fernán (Hernán) Rodríguez de Valbuena, becoming a funerary chapel for the Order. For centuries, it served as a fortified church overlooking the Duero River, and was linked to the now-vanished castle and other medieval chapels in the town. It suffered several collapses in the 19th and 20th centuries, until the original ruins had practically disappeared; the current structure is the one dedicated to Santa María del Castillo (Saint Mary of the Castle).

Hermitage of Santa María del Castillo (also known as the Hermitage of Santo Cristo or the Church of the Order of Saint John) in Castronuño: Located on Alto de la Muela, on the banks of the Duero River in Castronuño (Valladolid). A medieval building originally linked to the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, which established a commandery here.

Also known as the Main Parish Church of San Antolín. The original parish dates back to 1177, founded by settlers from the north (Palencia) and dedicated to Saint Antolín. In 1480, the Catholic Monarchs obtained a papal bull from Pope Sixtus IV elevating its status to a collegiate church with a free abbey. Construction of the current church began in 1502 and continued into the 18th century, with prominent architects such as Juan Gil de Hontañón, Rodrigo Gil, and the Gutiérrez brothers. It lost its collegiate church status in 1851, becoming simply the main parish church.

The Plaza Mayor of Tordesillas was built in the 17th century as a perfect square, accessible from four streets. It features arcades, and the houses are two stories high, leaving space on the ground floor for shops, bars, and restaurants. The facades have large windows and balconies, ideally designed for viewing the various performances that have taken place there throughout history. Among other important buildings, the Town Hall is located in the plaza.

The medieval bridge over the Duero River, with its perfectly aligned arches, connects the historic center to the opposite bank. The monumental skyline of Tordesillas, highlighting the Plaza Mayor, the Casas del Tratado (Houses of the Treaty), and the Monastery of Santa Clara, all framed by reddish rooftops and the silhouette of the Church of San Antolín. The Duero River winds beneath the bridge, its reflections shifting with the changing light, creating a highly photogenic scene.

The bridge is especially beautiful to look at in the evening at sunset
