Description of Arteguias

Arteguias is a guided tour company that promotes historical and cultural tourism in various parts of Spain. In the city of Soria we have an excursion that lasts one day, where you visit the main sites knowing all their details. In addition, since you will be accompanied by a titled guide you will not only know the superficial history of each place, but also the legends that still surround its ruins and the most curious anecodtas.

The city of Soria is made up of a Romanesque artistic ensemble formed under both Burgos and Navarre influences, with light touches of French Romanesque. Thanks to this, the stylistic character of our land has a special touch of great variety. Specifically in this trip we are going to focus on the most important religious constructions, checking the passage of time in each of them as well as the stylistic evolution.

We will start with the Iglesia de Santo Domingo . Known for the beauty of its façade, inside it keeps the best French Romanesque, having its origin in the influence exerted by Queen Eleanor de Plantagenet. We will continue our visit to San Juan de Rabanera , a post-Romanesque temple that has many details, being a real luxury for lovers of sculpture. Its head is the prelude to the wealth that awaits us inside.

The Church of San Juan de Duero is possibly the most relevant place of this visit. We can access its cloister, still standing, and made up of wonderful arches of oriental influence. While you walk through its buildings, you will feel the peace that emanates from the land and you will be able to delight yourself with the multiple forms that its architecture presents. Inside, the feeling will increase when you contemplate all the stylistic devices used. There are many opinions about the true reason for the use of these techniques, now we can discuss it surrounded by an impressive environment.,

At the end of the excursion, we will arrive at the Church of San Nicolás . Currently only the ruins remain, although the entire apse can be seen. It is said that it is one of the most harmonious, thanks to the measurements it keeps. We can also see some murals on the assassination of Santo Tomás. The culmination of the visit comes with the Co-Cathedral of San Pedro and its Cloister. Inside, a series of capitals influenced by Silos awaits us.

All our visits have departure from Madrid , on Avenida de América. The duration of the excursion is a full day, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., where we return to the same starting point.
