Walls built by Doña Sancha, sister of Emperor Alfonso VII, largely follow the construction of a primitive "Opium", whose much wider fence can still be seen in aerial photographs. Although it is not possible to walk around the perimeter of the walls, you can walk along the wall for at least six hundred meters. To the north and south are the gates, called respectively, the Azogue and the Villa, both of remarkable beauty, and there is still some gate and closes the complex with a superb castle built by Fernando I, during the first years of his reign, currently the cemetery of the Villa. Maria de Padilla, lover of King Don Pedro I, frequently stayed in the castle, and at different times it was a prison for different historical figures. One of the biggest attractions of the town is the landscape that can be seen from the west side of the wall. On clear days you can see in the distance the Sierra de la Culebra de Zamora and Mount Teleno de Leon as well as a dozen villages located in the ceramic plain of Tierra de Campos, a sea of wheat that produces waves with the wind called the Sea of Castile, a huge landscape of a multitude of changing colors depending on the season of the year with a blue sky with immense clouds that produce superb sunsets. Inside we find a small, well-ordered village, very well cared for with a mud and adobe architecture dotted with berroquera stone and a colossal stone church of silleria, a Romanesque church that has an 18th-century bell gable, although its building began to be built in the 16th century under the auspices of Don Pedro de Girón, fifth count of Urueña and first duke of Osuna. Currently, there is a rich and varied cultural life with four museums dedicated mainly to ethnography and popular folklore. Their exhibitions are mainly dedicated to musical instruments and their great treasure is the documentary collections, both written and spoken, belonging to the Joaquín Díaz Foundation and the Luis Delgado Music Museum. We have the Villa del Libro, which in Urueña will build a space in which books are a magnet for travelers, who, free from the trivial, go in search of less common joys. Not to mention the Hermitage of the Anuciada, two kilometers from the village, one of the most interesting examples of Catalan Romanesque Given this panorama, it is no exaggeration to say that Urueña is a land of romances, minstrels and troubadours, with a medieval flavor worthy of sharing with visitors and friends SURROUNDINGS: The Cistercian monastery of Santa Espina is just 11 km away, with its grandiose collegiate church nestled in a unique setting in the Montes Torozos Mozarabic art in the parishes of Wamba with a visit to the ossuary and San Cebrian de Mazote 6 km, as well as the museum of San Roman de Hornija, together with the Jesuit collegiate church in Villagarcia 6 km Visit to castles Urueña castle built by Ferdinand I.
