Valladolid

Valladolid sits on the Pisuerga River in Castile and León, where the broad Castilian plateau meets a cultivated river corridor. Seat of Spain’s royal court from 1601 to 1606, the city has a compact historic centre of civic squares, churches and Renaissance façades. Plaza Mayor, rebuilt after a fire in 1561, helped establish the model for later Spanish main squares. The National Museum of Sculpture occupies the Colegio de San Gregorio, a late-Gothic building known for its highly detailed façade. The University of Valladolid, founded in 1241, is among Spain’s oldest. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Valladolid and Castile and León.
