Santo Domingo Convent and Torreon de los Guzmans

The Convent of Santo Domingo was built surrounding the Tower, the latter remaining in the courtyard of the convent. Another remnant of the former ancestral home of the Saint's family is the Bodega de la Beata Juana de Aza, mother of Santo Domingo. The Torreón de los Guzmán is a four-story rectangular tower, 17 meters high and implacably reinforced with two-meter thick walls. It dates from the tenth century, like other fortresses of La Ribera del Río Duero, which together formed a line of surveillance and defense in the midst of the reconquest.
