Description

The Combo Museo de los Fueros + C.I. de la Antigua Cárcel de Sepúlveda is a heritage tourism resource of exhibition character located in the historic center of Sepúlveda, in the province of Segovia, Castilla y León, at the coordinates indicated. The Museum of the Fueros is located in the Romanesque church of Saints Justo and Pastor, while the Interpretation Center of the Old Prison is located in the Plaza del Trigo, within the same monumental core of the town. The Museum of the Fueros focuses on the history of Sepulveda and its Community of Villa y Tierra, taking as its axis the famous Charter confirmed by Alfonso VI in 1076. The museum occupies a temple built between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, in Romanesque style, and preserves pieces of historical, artistic, archaeological and documentary heritage linked to the medieval and modern evolution of the town. For its part, the Interpretation Center of the Old Jail functions as a complementary space to visit within the heritage itinerary of Sepúlveda. The name itself alludes to its location in the old prison building, now adapted for interpretive and tourist use in the Plaza del Trigo, in the traditional urban heart of the town. This ensemble helps to understand the historical role of Sepúlveda as a fortified town and head of its medieval community, articulated around the charter, the territorial organization and the documentary memory of the territory. The combination of both resources offers a unified heritage reading of the legal, institutional and urban past of Sepúlveda.
