Beautiful magnetic medieval Spanish church. 11°C temperature difference inside the church compared to the outside. A blessing too.

It is, without a doubt, the most important monument in the town, declared a Historic Site. King Ferdinand II of León promoted its construction at the end of the 12th century, but the work continued for six centuries, meaning it underwent numerous changes and influences. Of the three existing doors, the Pórtico do Perdão is the most important and one of the most spectacular in Spain. From the 13th century, the two twin arches and the parteluz stand out, as well as the iconography with representations alluding to Jesus, the apostles and the Virgin. The Las Cadenas gate, with Romanesque imagery, and the Enlosado or Amayuelas gate complete the entrances. Inside, it is divided into three naves and a transept and is topped by a large apse. The choir is one of the most beautiful works in the temple. It has a Spanish-Flemish style with magnificently carved ashlars, the work of Rodrigo Alemán. The cloister is an integral part of the architectural complex, with beautiful Romanesque reliefs on the capitals and a rich and varied iconography. On the exterior façade, facing the wall, you can see the impact of the bombs that, during the War of Independence, almost brought down this magnificent construction.

The Cathedral of Santa María is the heart of Ciudad Rodrigo and a must-see. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, it combines Romanesque and Gothic styles beautifully. The façade with its carvings and rose window is impressive, and inside you find a peaceful space with high arches, altarpieces, and a stunning cloister. Entry is around €6 and includes the cloister and small museum – absolutely worth it. A place full of history, beauty, and silence right in the center of town

It's OK and you kind of have to visit it but it seemed expensive.

Amazing to see the craftsmanship of the many amazing hands who made this building. Worth the visit, although , we vere disappointed when were sold the full ticket, which included visit to the tower withholding the important information about the fact that a small group have to gather and there is considerable waiting to start the tour.

The Cathedral is nice but I gave one star to the old Spanish lady in the ticket office for her terrible attitude yesterday. We stopped by on our way from Portugal to north Spain and arrived 5 min before its closing time in the noon. We just wanted to have a quick 5 min look inside the cathedral and the lady said it was closed. I accepted that she was in a hurry to take a nap even though it's 5 mins earlier than its official closing time. Then I wanted to use the bathroom and she again refused me. It's unbelievablely rude and not professional. How evil can you be to refuse a toilet visit? I think the cathedral should make sure that you hire someone who is doing their job the sell the cathedral and the city to the visitors.

The carved wooden seats in the choir are worth the admission price alone. Magnificent building.

(Translated by Google) Nice tour of these walls. Fully cared for and conditioned. It consists of two lines of walls that form an oval-shaped belt around the city, with a length of 2,200 meters and reaching 13 m in height in some places, and flanked by five towers. Of the eight gates that it originally had, seven are preserved today, of which the Puerta de Santiago and the Puerta del Sol stand out. Although there are still remains of the primitive wall from the 12th century, what is seen today was almost entirely built. during the reform of the 18th century.

Aunque todavía quedan restos de la primitiva muralla del siglo XII, lo que se contempla hoy día fue construido casi todo durante la reforma del siglo XVIII.

(Translated by Google) A lovely walk along the walls surrounding the city. Ciudad Rodrigo is a forgotten gem in the Spanish countryside. A unique medieval town with a beautiful Parador. Lovely squares everywhere. Not yet overrun by hordes of tourists. The only downside was that we weren't allowed to use the restroom in the toilet museum! (Original) Mooie wandeling op de muren die de stad omringen. Ciudad Rodrigo is een vergeten parel in het Spaanse binnenland. Een unieke middeleeuwse stad met een prachtige Parador.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful city and spectacular star-shaped fortress. It is about 2.2 km long and in some points up to 13 meters high with eight doors. It is originally from the 12th century but what we see today was renovated by Fernando II in the 18th century, 7 doors are preserved, the most important would be LA COLADA, CONDE, SOL, SANTIAGO, SANTA CRUZ AND AMAYUEGAS. It is worth visiting it since the walk along the wall is very beautiful with good views. (Original) Preciosa ciudad y espectacular fortaleza con forma de estrella. Tiene unos 2.2 km de longitud y en algunos puntos hasta 13 metros de altura con ocho puertas. Originalmente es del siglo XII pero lo que vemos hoy esta reformado por Fernando II en el siglo XVIII, se conservan 7 puertas, las mas importantes seria LA COLADA, CONDE, SOL, SANTIAGO, SANTA CRUZ Y AMAYUEGAS. Merece la pena recorrerla puesto que el paseo por la muralla es muy bonito con buenas vista.

Definitely a unique place to visit. If you've got 30 to 40 minutes, it's an interesting visit for 2 euro.

Silly program for this museum, closing at 14:00. We travelled 800+km to get to Ciudad Rodrigo, and while there, wanted to visit this museum, and bummer, it was closed 38 minutes after we arrived. What a dissapointment :( Had no idea about this museum before, so could not plan my trip accordingly. Would have been an interesting place to see, but I will probably never get to this area again.

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed visiting this city, particularly the historic area, the main square and the town hall, among other things. But I liked the town hall the most, I don't think I'm mistaken, but the photos I've included can attest to that. There were stalls selling regional products scattered around the square and many of the shops were open, so I had the opportunity to buy some souvenirs. I liked the town hall building, its staircase, which leads to the first floor, with a beautiful old handrail that continues on the edge of the square, surrounding the façade, which houses a large balcony where an exhibition dedicated to bullfighting was taking place. But above all, I liked the houses, churches and medieval and Gothic architecture, observing the ruins that bear witness to a tragic past, experienced by the inhabitants and which left deep marks on its mural. And I'm going back, because I couldn't leave the walled city due to lack of time, and I intend to visit the most recent part of the city and the province as a whole, including visiting Salamanca in more detail. (Original) Gostei muito de visitar esta cidade, em particular a zona histórica, a praça maior e a câmara, entre outros aspetos. Mas apreciei mais a câmara, julgo não estar enganada, mas as fotos que acrescento poderão atestá-lo. Havia, espalhadas pela praça, barracas dedicadas à venda de produtos regionais e muitas das lojas comerciais encontravam-se abertas, pelo que tive a oportunidade de comprar algumas lembranças. Gostei do edifício camarário, da sua escadaria, que leva ao primeiro andar, com um corrimão antigo, bonito e que continua fronteiriço à praça, torneando a fachada, que abriga uma sacada ampla onde estava a decorrer uma exposição dedicada ao toureio. Mas gostei, sobretudo, do casario, igrejas e arquitetura medieval e gótica, de observar as ruínas que testemunham um passado trágico, vivenciado pelos habitantes e que deixou marcas profundas no seu mural. E vou voltar, porque não consegui sair da cidade muralhada, por falta de tempo, e pretendo percorrer a zona mais recente da cidade e a província no seu todo, incluindo visitar melhor Salamanca.

(Translated by Google) Building built in two periods, in the first half of the 16th century the front body; and in 1923 the side additions. Delimited by two small turrets, it has a portico and gallery of arches on a column with a Plateresque capital. Three coats of arms stand out on the tower on the left, including that of Charles V and the one with the three posts that corresponds to the city's coat of arms. The bell is rung during the Bull Carnival, if there is danger of a loose bull. (Original) Edificio levantado en dos épocas, en la primera mitad del siglo XVI el cuerpo frontal; y en el año 1923 los añadidos laterales. Delimitado por dos torrecillas, presenta pórtico y galería de arcos sobre columna con capitel plateresco. Destacan en la torre de la izquierda tres blasones, entre ellos el de Carlos V y el de los tres postes que corresponde al escudo de la ciudad. La campana se toca durante el carnaval del Toro, si hay peligro de toro suelto.

(Translated by Google) Ciudad Rodrigo City Hall is, quite simply, an example of how all public institutions should operate. From the first contact, the service has been incredible: kindness, efficiency, and a closeness that is so appreciated. It's a pleasure to deal with people who are truly involved and put their heart into everything they do. The building itself is beautiful, steeped in history, and perfectly preserved, one of the most beautiful corners of the city. But what truly makes this City Hall special is its team. Councilman Víctor is a true luxury: professional, attentive, and always willing to help with anything needed. And the mayor, Marcos, is an example of closeness, humility, and commitment to his city. It's clear that he's passionate about Ciudad Rodrigo and works every day to improve it and support those who promote local projects. I wish all city halls operated with such a positive, collaborative, and friendly attitude. In every management process, every conversation, and every detail, you can feel the love for the city and its people. 💛 My heartfelt thanks to the City Council of Ciudad Rodrigo, Víctor, and Marcos for doing things so well and for their tremendous human qualities. It's a pleasure to work with such dedicated people. I wish all municipalities had a team this dedicated! (Original) El Ayuntamiento de Ciudad Rodrigo es, sencillamente, un ejemplo de cómo deberían funcionar todas las instituciones públicas. Desde el primer contacto, la atención ha sido increíble: amabilidad, eficacia y una cercanía que se agradece muchísimo. Da gusto tratar con gente que realmente se implica y que pone corazón en todo lo que hace. El edificio en sí es precioso, lleno de historia y perfectamente conservado, uno de los rincones más bonitos de la ciudad. Pero lo que de verdad hace especial a este Ayuntamiento es su equipo humano. El concejal Víctor es un auténtico lujo: profesional, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudar en todo lo necesario. Y el alcalde, Marcos, es un ejemplo de cercanía, humildad y compromiso con su ciudad. Se nota que le apasiona Ciudad Rodrigo y que trabaja cada día para mejorarla y apoyar a quienes impulsan proyectos locales. Ojalá todos los ayuntamientos funcionaran con esa actitud tan positiva, colaboradora y cercana. En cada gestión, cada conversación y cada detalle se percibe el cariño por la ciudad y por su gente. 💛 Gracias de corazón al Ayuntamiento de Ciudad Rodrigo, a Víctor y a Marcos por hacer las cosas tan bien y por su enorme calidad humana. Un placer colaborar con personas así. ¡Ojalá todos los municipios tuvieran un equipo así de implicado!

(Translated by Google) It is impossible to start your visit to the city from here, because to get to the town hall, you first have to be surprised by the network of centuries-old streets and buildings. I want to say that when you finally arrive at the square where the building is located, you should no longer be surprised by its presence, however, it is not true, when you are in the square and you look at the town hall what you feel is admiration, it is curious and beautiful alike. In addition, documents from more than a thousand years old sleep in it. That alone should make us waste a few minutes on it. (Original) Es imposible comenzar la visita a la ciudad desde aquí, porque para llegar al ayuntamiento, antes tienes que dejarte sorprender por el entramado de calles y edificios centenarios. Quiero decir que cuando, por fín, llegas a la plaza en que se sitúa el edificio, ya no debería asombrarte su presencia, sin embargo, no es cierto, cuando estás en la plaza y observas el ayuntamiento lo que sientes es admiración, es curioso y hermoso por igual. Además, en él duermen documentos de más de mil años. Sólo por eso ya debería hacernos perder unos minutos en él.

(Translated by Google) If you're passing through Ciudad Rodrigo, visiting its main square is a must. It's lively and very pretty. (Original) Si pasáis por Ciudad Rodrigo visitar su plaza mayor es un must. Bastante ambiente y muyyyy bonito.

(Translated by Google) It is an elegant example of Castilian architecture. It consists of two phases: a 16th-century Renaissance section and a 20th-century one. The oldest and most extensive section is located on the main facade. The building's turret features three coats of arms: the Imperial coat of arms of Spain, the coat of arms of the city with three columns, and a quartered coat of arms. (Original) Es un elegante ejemplo de arquitectura castellana. Está compuesto por dos etapas: una parte renacentista del siglo XVI y otra del siglo XX.

En la torrecilla del edificio se encuentran tres escudos: el imperial de España, el de la ciudad con las tres columnas y otro cuartelado.

This castle is now the Parador de Ciudad Rodrigo. We loved it. I thought the rooms are decorated in a way that goes really well with the style of the castle. The bed was not huge, but a good size, clean and comfortable. Staff was also really friendly. The reservation web site is confusing as it says they have only double beds or 2 twin size beds. However the "double" size beds are actually queen size beds. Make sure to go up the tower of the castle. You will get 360 beautiful views of the village.

It has a nice ambience and the chocolate was very delicious. But I get the feeling that the stuff are always busy doing many things and it doesn't feel very friendly and welcoming as a Vibe

It is a beautiful and very old place. It is very big and impressive. I would recommend it to anyone who has never been here. It is a very big church.

Such a cool historic castle in Cuidad Rodrigo. We stayed in the castle, which was wonderful, but we also explored the castle tower and walked along the walls. The castle is well maintained and beautiful.

Very striking castle and beautiful Parador

A gorgeous spot to spend a vacation. Spent the night in the castle. Beautiful furnishings and a room fit for a king. You can walk the fortress walls and have a great view of the Roman bridge below. A must see. Paradore hotels are outstanding.

Just great. Staff were wonderful, reception great, restaurant awesome when we were a little late for our evening meal. Can't say enough good things. Great when you travel with dog.

Disapointing after a long trail. There's nothing to see but courtyard. Free But other reviewers must have visited somewhere else!

A must for the Sharpe followers.
