In the heart of the town, perched on the hill on which ascends the hull visontino, an elongated enclosure pinariego spills flavor on all four sides. The Plaza Mayor stretches between stone houses and arched doors, flanked by the town hall, the church and the seminary. Epicenter of the town, some of its most emblematic streets lead to it, while it is the center and witness of festivals and traditions that coexist throughout the year with the pulse of everyday life.
Located in the heart of Vinuesa, this imposing 16th century church is a reference of the Gothic Renaissance in Soria. It stands out for its large dimensions, its robust ashlar walls and its elegant bell tower. Inside, the baroque altarpiece and the ribbed vaults reflect the historical richness of the town, being the epicenter of the famous festivities of "La Pinochada".
Coming from Galicia, the wealthy Neyla family left a great legacy in the area in the 17th century. Don Pedro de Neyla, became Archbishop of Palermo and on his return he built such a palace. The mansion has a rectangular floor plan and two stories high. It is one of the houses that make Vinuesa emblematic and stately, as it has three coats of arms on the facades. At his death, the building was donated to the Church, and in the mid-nineteenth century, Don Matias Ramos Calonge, bought the Palace from the Church, giving it the function of public schools that currently remains.
On Luenga Street, we find the best example of Pinar del Río architecture, the Casa de los Ramos. Built in 1778, a solemn two-story building, made of thick masonry wall, large wooden eaves supporting the roof of double red tile and a balcony overhang, which stands out in its cover, made of Scots pine wood.
The title of Marquis de la Vilueña passed to a member of the Carrillo family, from the town of Vinuesa. In 1754 he built a majestic palace unique in its design and location. Both its size, its exquisite materials and its facades show an abnormal and very elegant stamp for its time. The true value of the construction is found in the façade, made of white ashlar carved stone. With four linteled balconies that hang overhanging overhanging on large gutters of ears and imposts and the emblematic coat of arms. The Palace was bought by Andrés Villacieros Carretero, who helped to preserve it so that nowadays, after being destined to schools, it is used as a residence for the elderly.
It is one of the most picturesque points of confluence of the town; space of crossing that serves as a link between the upper and lower parts of the urban nucleus. Long cobblestone steps are in charge of linking this walk that joins the four streets with the fronton and the Patín. It is an itinerary to walk slowly, almost playing between short or long strides on the paving. In it, a narrow corridor for walking that may require protection from the occasional current, a sort of passageway crosses under a room, cantilevered, of a private house. If the direction of our steps is descending, we will end up in the Four Streets. If we decide to take the stairs that go to the left and not descend, we can reach the back of the church thanks to some narrow and steep stone stairs. At the top of these, the viewpoint of Camarilla Street promises panoramic views thanks to a natural balcony towards the Revinuesa; offering a magnificent view over the Cuerda del Pozo Reservoir. We are very close to the Plaza Mayor. If, on the other hand, the itinerary is uphill, our steps will lead us to the stone pediment. Flanked on two of its sides by a small grandstand, the pelota game is the hallmark of the towns of the provincial geography in general and the region in particular, where there is a great fondness for hand pelota and other sports in the shelter of the fronton. In festivals, the tradition will unite men every year around the game of tanguilla.
Over the Duero River, during the driest months of the year, you can enjoy the remains of what was once a majestic bridge with seven arches. You can appreciate its excellent ashlar construction and the structure of its vaults. These are of two types, the closest to the village are barrel vaults with semicircular arches, while the rest are pointed arches of clear medieval typology. The beauty of this enclave lies in the combination of the grandeur of the reservoir with the pine forest, the bridge itself and its surroundings, which from there gives us beautiful views of the village.
