Plaza de Medina del Campo

Its name gives recognition to the heroic support of the town of Medina del Campo (Valladolid) to Segovia during the Revolt of the Comuneros, uprising of the Castilian nobility in the 16th century. 

Framed by San Martín church, the Porres house, the contemporary art museum Esteban Vicente, the 16th century Renaissance manor houses of the Solier with their granite façades, and, to their right, the Bornos House, with a curious corner window, both topped by a gallery similar to those used to dry wool and cloth, testimony of the flourishing textile industry Segovia had for centuries. 

The Lozoya Tower stands to the right of the square, which is presided by a statue in memory of Juan Bravo by the Segovia sculptor Aniceto Marinas (1921), and two sphinxes (known as the “mermaids”) made by Francisco Bellver (1851), who also designed the fountain on top of the staircase.
