Our path then takes us to the Plaza Mayor, a historical hub that has served as the civic heart for centuries. This vibrant square is encircled by notable buildings including the town hall and an arched gallery that once served as a setting for public announcements.
Next, we'll admire the Church of San Juan de Rabanera, another stunning example of Romanesque architecture, distinguished by its Byzantine-style apse and a portal relocated here from another church during the 19th century. In addition, we'll view the elegant Palacio de Alcántara, which exemplifies the noble architecture for which Soria is known.
Our next stop is the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, which houses one of the most revered images in the region and plays a significant role in Soria's Holy Week celebrations.
