SANTA TERESA SQUARE                    The square of Santa Teresa, also known as the Big Market, contains the church of San Pedro. With a romanic style, its construction began during the 12th century and was finalised in the 13th century, with a Gothic style. It is worth remarking the western portico, considered to be one of the master pieces of the Spanish Romanic Sculpture. When the kings visited the city for their first time, the receptions where organised in its enourmos uncovered atrium. It was here where the Catholic kings sweared the privileges. The great Cistercian rose window is especially remarkable. On the opposite side of the square, we can find the door of the fortress, another door of entrance into the city-wall, where there is a statue of Santa Teresa de Jesús and, to its left, San Segundo street, which leads to the basilic of San Vicente.
