| Once this town was centre of politics, finances and culture, until it lost its capital status to Madrid in the 16th Century. The city's rich cultural heritage is still very evident in its architecture and museums. |
|
Museo Nacional de Escultura – Colegio de San Gregorio. The 20 rooms of the museum charts displays the region’s religious heritage and art history with figurines, sculptures and other mementos from the now-destroyed monasteries. Entrance to the museum is free on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.
Casa de Cervantes – C. Castro. The old house of the medieval writer Cervantes is nothing too spectacular, but the collection of old books and furniture will appeal to some.
Cathedral – Pl. Universidad. As in most Spanish towns the cathedral has a presence of its own. This cathedral was designed by Juan de Herra, and is quite quaint with its monochromatic colour scheme.
Museo Diocesano – Pl. Universidad. This museum hosts a great array of statues of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and the saints.

| Lamb dishes are a great favourite in this region. |

Restaurant Chino Gran Muralla – 1 C. Santa Maria. If you find the hanging dragons, then you have found the best Chinese restaurant in town. Prices are very affordable.
Restaurante Covadonga – Pl. Val. The restaurant has a fair elegance about it, but the main attraction is Polly, the talking stuffed parrot. The food is quite affordable.
La Fragua – 10 Plaseo de Zorrilla. This is the place to go for a fine dining experience. Only the very best of the local produce is used here. Unfortunately they are closed on Sundays and prices are quite steep.

La Rosaleda – Av. Salamanca. From 8pm to 8am you can dance to the thumping beats of this dance club.
