Convent of Santo Domingo de Guzman

11/10/2019 - 10:04

The Dominican Fathers' Convent began to be built in 1952, taking care that the type of construction did not clash with the structure and austerity of the Royal Monastery. Except for the top on the corners with squat towers, it looks like one.

The building was built around the Torreón, remaining in the courtyard of the convent. Another remnant of the former ancestral home of the Santo family is the Winery of Beata Juana de Aza, mother of Santo Domingo. The winery is a rectangular vaulted space where, according to documents, Doña Juana performed the miracle of the multiplication of the wine vat to distribute it to the most needy. For this reason she was canonized. A relief in alabaster by Andrew M. Abelenda recalls the fact.

Church of San Sebastián

11/10/2019 - 09:41

The parish church of San Sebastian, from the beginning of the 12th century, is in the Romanesque style. From its original structure remains the tower, part of the arch of the entrance door and a biforia window; and in its interior the presbytery of absidal form; totally renewed with a window at the end and a cornice of dice in all its perimeter.

It is also interesting the cover of three smooth arches, the central one resting on columns with simple Corinthian capitals. There is also a beautiful Christ hanging over the Romanesque altar. It is the site of the first burial of Blessed Juana de Aza, mother of Santo Domingo de Guzmán. In the small baptistery was baptized Santo Domingo. The baptismal font was transferred by Alfonso X to the convent of the nuns for safekeeping until 1605. Currently it is in the Monastery of the Dominican Mothers of Santo Domingo el Real , in Madrid, where members of the Spanish Royal House continue to be baptized.

Hermitage of San Cosme and San Damián

07/10/2019 - 14:47

The hermitage of San Cosme and San Damián, is located on the north bank of the River Duero, somewhat far from the town center and omo its own indica name is dedicated to the patrons of our locality, the medical saints Cosme and Damian.

Although we do not know for sure its origin, it may have been associated with the mediaval population located in its vicinity since, in the report sent to the royal geographer Tomás López at the end of the eighteenth century, it is affirmed ".... which is very old and its chapel manifests itself to be of the times of the Goths....". In any case, in its current state, it is a building erected at various times in history from the lower Medieval period until the nineteenth century.

Bow of the New Gate

07/10/2019 - 14:39

This Gate replaces the previous one, called Imperial Gate , work of the reign of the Catholic Monarchs. It is known by writings in the archive of the City Council that Puerta dicha was commanded of 1796, because it is in a ruinous state that previously underpinned and you can not enter you can see or leave through it. Its state of ruin was due to a large avenue of the river 20 years earlier, which left the foundations of the arch in the air.

The plans and project of the reconstruction are carried out by the Alarife and Master of works of the city of Burgos, Mr. Francisco de Céspedes, commanded by Mr. Manuel Machón Martínez de Mollinedo: General Intendent of the province of Burgos.

Duero River

07/10/2019 - 13:59

Our great natural monument, the Duero River, completely surrounds us. Vadocondes sits on one of his meanders of the middle high course. The municipality is crossed by its waters from east to west.

The villa built a great safeguard in the eighteenth century to defend itself from its comings and goings.

The Douro passes through our municipality with a very gentle slope; of it we use its waters to irrigate with them our crops, the basis of the economy of the people; both by one margin and on the other there are irrigation channels. The Guma or Queen Victoria canal on the left bank and the Aranda canal on its right bank.

Its waters have also been used throughout history to produce electricity in the mills of the village; or to grind grain and turn it into flour. Currently there is a hydroelectric plant in the same enclave of an old mill.

Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

07/10/2019 - 13:15

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption is the most important religious building in our town and is located in the center of it, in Plaza Manuel Mendoza.

The origins of this temple are located in the middle of the medieval period, with a transition construct between the late Romanesque and early Gothic, which has been remodeled numerous times throughout history, consetting it its current appearance. For example, the tower was erected in the last third of the sixteenth century by the Transmerane master Pedro Díaz de Palacios. It is an example of well-kept seating, quadrangular, and on three of its four sides opens a wide half-point arch to favor the interior lighting of the temple. In the year 1.608 the sundial was placed in the tower by the master of the walliso Bartolomé Carense.
