The old episcopal city of El Burgo de Osma, originally founded by the Visigoths, lies southwest of Soria on the Río Ucero, in the valley of the Duero. Its heyday was in the 16th century.
24km/15mi from El Burgo de Osma is the little town of Berlanga de Duero, still surrounded by its old walls. It has an imposing 15th century castle with a massive keep, surrounded by a double circuit of walls. The beautiful church, La Colegiata (1530), has a magnificent retablo. The Palacio de los Marqueses de Berlanga is in Plateresque style.
