Located in the central part of the province ofSegovia, at 935 metres above sea level, and 34km from the provincial capital, the village of Tu-régano can be found nestled within the wide va-lley between the Pirón and Cega rivers, in thegeographical area known as la Campiña. Thereare currently some 1,150 inhabitants residing inTurégano and its four dependencies: La Cuesta,Aldeasaz, Berrocal and Carrascal.

Turégano, the former TORODA: The ruins of theold Arabian fort which surround the handsomeMedieval castle are of Roman and Celtiberianorigin and suggest that Turégano was an enclaveof vital historical and geographical importance inthe distant past. During the Early Middle Ages, inmany documents referring to this area on thecentral plateau of the Iberian Peninsula, severalroutes appear in which the town is cited as a ge-ographical landmark. especially the “semita queva de Torodano ad Boitracum” (the path whichruns between Turégano and Buitrago crossingthe Guadarrama mountain range). From the year1123 in which, at the petition of the first bishopof the restored church in Segovia, the French-man Pedro de Agén, the town was donated bythe queen Doña Urraca and her son Alfonso VIIto the Segovian prelates, Turégano began to playa leading role in the history of Segovia and ofCastille. As the Bishop and Lord of the town was

a member of the Royal Council of Castille,mainly during the 14th and 15th centuries, Turé-gano became the headquarters of the chanceryand appellate court of the kingdom, and on re-peated occasions, the court and residence of theCastillian monarchs, for example when Juan I sig-ned the Royal Charter for the Foundation of theSan Benito Monastery in Valladolid in Turégano, inSeptember 1390, or when, the most lavish festi-vities ever seen in Castille were held to celebratethe reconciliation between Juan II and the Cons-table Don Álvaro de Luna. Important historicalfigures have been related to the town, the queenDoña Urraca of Castille and her son Alfonso VII,King Pedro I, King Juan I, Don Álvaro de Luna,King Juan II, King Enrique IV, Bishop Juan Arias Dá-vila, the Catholic Monarchs Fernando and Isabel,Emperor Carlos V, and, like is said of one of the

best abstract painters of the 20th century, Este-ban Vicente, many saw in this town an incrediblebalance between liberty and wisdom, expressi-veness and elegance.

The castle

To say Turégano is to say castle, given that thefortress in this episcopal town is one of themost important in Spain and of course themost singular of them all for having an im-pregnable, fortified church. The first bishop,Pedro de Agén, considered the ancient fort,built upon a slight hill, the ideal place to situatethe new church. Built into the castle, San Mi-guel church bears testimony, with the structu-res built adjacent to and on top of the temple,to the fact that there were two castles or for-tresses: that which was built in its day by thebishop Arias Dávila and another, more primi-tive structure, from which there are countlessarchaeological remains. Therefore, six periodsmay be observed in its archaeological evolu-tion: the Arabian fort, the primitive Romanes-que church of San Miguel, built in the interiorof the fort between the 12th and 13th centu-

ries, finished with arrow slit windows; the bis-hop's palace built on top of the extendedchurch, obscuring within it the beautiful 15thcentury Romanesque bell tower; the fortresswhich was remodelled by Juan Arias Dávila inthe 15th century; the adaptation by Diego deRivera and the dismantling of the Episcopal pa-

lace superimposed on the naves of the churchin the 16th century; and finally, in 1703, theconstruction of the belfry and demolition ofthe exterior bell tower and some of the eas-tern walls. During the reign of Carlos III, thecastle of Turégano became a crown depen-dency, though it was returned to the Segovianbishopric a short time after. At the proposalof the Ministry of Public Instruction and theArts, it was declared a Historic Artistic Monu-ment on 3rd June, 1931.

On 2nd November, 1994, the diocese of Se-govia granted the Town Hall of Turégano theuse of the castle, with the exception of SanMiguel church, for 30 years with the possibilityof extending this limit.

Church of San Miguel

In the church, two phases of construction aredistinguishable, the first corresponds to the la-teral naves and the tower above the crossing,of which little remains as it was built within thecastle's central tower or keep. The secondphase includes the central nave, built with qua-lity masonry and covered with a pointed ba-rrel vault, formed by the transverse archeswhich support it. The sculptural decoration in-side is noteworthy: elaborate capitals next tothe pulpit, vegetable motifs, acanthus leavesand cane.

The fort and its walls

Several towers from the old Arabian fort, withthe tops partly crumbling, are still standing de-fiantly, joined together by the walls which su-rround the fortress built upon San Miguelchurch. In its day it was a walled citadel whichprotected the area. What remains is of ex-ceptional historical value: a unique militaryjewel in the realm of early Medieval defence.

Church of Santiago

Currently the town's parish church and a na-tional monument, it is one of the true artisticjewels, not only owing to its 12th century Ro-manesque apse, Baroque altarpieces the pri-mitive Romanesque stone altarpiece, but alsofor its impressive collection of sculptures, ofreligious images in gold, unique pieces whichhave come to rest here having been inheritedfrom other parishes in Turégano: the ByzantineChrist from the church of San Pedro, the in-comparable Romanesque carving of the Vir-gen del Burgo, the Gothic triptych (possibly bythe bishop Arias Dávila), the Romanesquebaptismal font from San Miguel, the gilt silverchalice by Diego Rivera, sombre Baroquepolychrome wooden sculptures and a rich co-llection of religious ornaments. It is a buildingconstructed over different periods and in var-

ying architectural styles. The interior compri-ses a central nave, a lateral nave in which thereis a Baroque chapel known as “Soledad” (soli-tude), the apse which houses the main altarwith a vestry on either side, one of which, thatbeside the pulpit, was demolished in order toexpose another arch of the primitive Roma-nesque structure of the church..

Romanesque apse

The apse was discovered at the end of the Eigh-ties by chance while the interior of the churchwas under restoration. However, the restorationworks were finally carried out in 2009 followingan agreement between the Bishopric and theCulture and Tourism Council of Castille-Leon.During this process the main altarpiece wasbrought forward to the foot of the presbytery,

leaving the space in the apse open to allow visi-tors to wander around the ambulatory and ob-serve this Romanesque jewel. The iconography isvery interesting as it shows the Christ Pantocra-tor in Majesty, poised with his right hand in bles-sing and the Book of Life in his left, surroundedby a tetramorph composed of the four evange-lists: an eagle (symbol of St. John), a bull (symbolof St. Lucas), a lion (symbol of St. Mark) and an

According to this theory, the figureswhich have appeared date back the first third ofthe 13th century. Only two other places featuresuch an arrangement of reliefs in their apses, inSanto Domingo de la Calzada (La Rioja) and inla Seo in Zaragoza thus making the town of Tu-régano a point of reference for the 18th centuryRomanesque. Furthermore, its extraordinarypolychromy is comparable to that on the Pór-tico de la Gloria of the Cathedral of Santiago.

España square

In day to day life, the Plaza Mayor (mainsquare) of Turégano is the main hub of activityin the town which, at the beginning of the 20thcentury was known as Plaza de Alfonso XIII,later Plaza de la República and currently Plazade España. It is also referred to as “the squareof one hundred pillars” by the official townchronicler, Victoriano Borreguero. Used for di-verse functions, since olden times, the PlazaMayor has been the setting for the fairs and

markets which acquired great importance inthe town. Furthermore and, as can be seenerected at the end of August, it is also home tothe bullring where the celebrated Medievalbullfights took place.

The surrounding houses conform to the samestyle: flat arch porticoes, sgraffito on the façade,timber-framed structures with long gables andSegovian-style roofs tiles, in rows with no over-lapping. Watched over and protected by thecastle, the Plaza Mayor, welcomes the visitorwith its unique charm and invites us, as all thosewho live there, to the whisperings and com-mentaries among its colonnades.

Shrine of our lady of Remedies and the Sta-tions of the Cross of Humilladero.

The path which runs towards the road to To-rreiglesias leads to the Ermita de Nuestra Se-ñora de los Remedios (shrine of Our Lady ofRemedies). Along the way are a series of en-graved, granite crosses, from different periods.There are 14 crosses in all which serve as re-membrance and a pause for processional orprivate worship before the Stations of theCross. Through this eerie Vía Crucis, a must forresidents and visitors, the shrine is accessed, abuilding with a rectangular ground plan and ofsmall dimensions which was restored in 1802.On the exterior, an inscription of the conces-sion of indulgence may be observed “RE-ZANDO UN PATER NOSTER DELANTEDE ESTE SANTO XTRO. SE GANAN XLDIAS DE YNDULGENCIA” (saying the Lord'sPrayer before this sanctuary will grant one 40days of indulgence), and the prayer windowlocated below the inscription, where an imageof Our Lady of Remedies can be seen in a se-date sculpture with the baby Jesus resting onher left knee and a bouquet of flowers in herleft hand.

Nowadays it is a parochial house.

In the primitive neighbourhood of el Burgo, there was for centuries a parish church of St. Peterand, next to it, the church of Santa María in which Arias Dávila held the episcopal synod in 1483and over which, the Segovian prelates built their summer palace, “the hotel” where they residedthroughout the summers until well into the 20th century.

Episcopal palace

Its construction was ordered by the prelateManuel Murillo Argaiz as a residence for thebishops during their stays in the town. It can befound on the southern side of the Plaza Mayor,although the main entrance is nowadays on themain road, opposite the Romanesque apse ofthe church of Santiago. Following the govern-ment-imposed sale of church property knownas “la desamortización de Mendizábal”, the pa-lace became private property and, over theyears, additions were made to the building, re-sulting in the transfer of the prelate's coat ofarms, originally on the central façade, to oneside of the wall. Nowadays, as a private pro-perty, little remains to suggest its former useand few people suspect that its main façadeonce constituted the southern side of the mainsquare, without any of the buildings which con-ceal it today.

Miñano palace

This house is built on three floors with an attic.It was built with the material available in theperiod: stone, adobe, brick and timber and hasundergone various transformations over time.In the past the building, one of the most im-portant in Turégano, had coach-houses, gar-dens, several outhouses and stables whichformed a non-porticoed angle to the colon-

Santiago square. Fountain

Water (non-drinkable) flows in from the Val-seco stream or “Madre del caño” (mother ofthe spout) and it boasts a high relief on thefront which explains that it was constructedowing to king Carlos III.

Forestry museum

The museum is located in an incomparable en-clave, surrounded by marvellous flora and fauna,in the former Casa del Ingeniero (engineer'shouse) which has been restored to house thememory of those whodedicated their lives toworking in the pine fo-rests: resin tappers,pitch distillers, cone co-llectors, forest rangers, etc. Sinceolden times man's exploitation of themountains was centred on harbouring the re-

sources of these trees. The pine forest as asource of wood, resin, pine nuts, hunting, grazingand the extraction of chaff created an ecosystemand a way of life for the people. However, in themid-nineteenth century, industrial resin extrac-tion commenced which required a great deal ofmanpower and a certain industrial richness, aswell as special care of the mountainside by theresin tappers which completely transformed thisway of working.

EasterThe brotherhoods of the Vera Cruz and the Pu-rísima, organise Turégano's Easter week alongwith the town hall. The two Good Friday pro-cessions are noteworthy: the Procession de laCarrera, in the morning, and the Procession delSilencio, at night, which take place in an atmos-phere of devotion owing to the profound si-lence of those who attend, the illumination bymore than five thousand candles and hundredsof torches, along with the impressive sound ofthe select sacred music and the melancholy tollof the bells, within a unique historical settingwith the church of Santiago, the porticoedsquare and the castle behind which all sub-merge us in authentic mysticism..

The local cuisine is characterised by roasts, especially lamb and suckling pig, with over one hundredyears of tradition. Also in the restaurants of the town we can find another succulent delicacy: cod “alajo arriero” (mule drivers' style salt cod), made since the middle of the 20th century by the localwomen for St. Andrew's Fair. Finally, in the bakeries and cake shops one can find suspiros (small cakesthat melt in the mouth), bollos blancos (glazed cakes), egg doughnuts, doughnuts, tortas de chicha-rrones (flat cake with pork scratchings), coconut cakes, madeleines, and a wide range of typical swe-ets from Turégano.
