            Turégano, Segovia, España.
Escultor: Manuel Revelles, 1979. 

La villa de Turégano se encuentra en el centro de la provincia de Segovia asentada sobre un antiguo castro arévaco, posteriormente romanizado. Construido en el siglo XV, el castillo de la localidad vigila el caserío desde su loma, coronada por la espadaña del campanario que muestra que en su interior alberga una iglesia. Es la iglesia de San Miguel, templo románico de finales del siglo XII o principios del XIII sobre el cual se contruyó la fortaleza. Un siglo antes Turégano se había convertido en villa episcopal, cuando doña Urraca dona al obispo de Segovia estas tierras. Fue entonces cuando comenzó a construirse la iglesia de Santiago que acabó convirtiéndose en un templo barroco que durante siglos escondió detrás de su retablo rococó un ábside románico descubierto de forma casual en la década de los noventa. Recientemente restaurado y abierto al público, supone para muchos uno de los hallazgos románicos más sorprendentes de las últimas décadas en nuestro país, habiéndose recuperado parte de las esculturas originales y de sus pinturas policromadas.   

 A los pies del castillo se abre su magnífica plaza porticada, denominada por el local Victoriano Borreguero 'la plaza de los cien postes'. Puro estilo castellano cuyos soportales están formados por columnas de piedra y forjados de madera, la cual se viste de coso taurino, de forma cuadrada, durante las fiestas en honor al Dulce nombre de María, celebradas el primer fin de semana de septiembre.  

The town of Turégano is located in the center of the province of Segovia, sitting on an old archeological fort, later Romanized. Built in the 15th century, the local castle watches over the hamlet from its hill, crowned by the belfry of the bell tower that shows that inside it houses a church. It is the church of San Miguel, Romanesque temple of the late twelfth or early thirteenth century on which the fortress was built. A century before Turégano had become an Episcopal village, when Doña Urraca donated these lands to the bishop of Segovia. It was then when the church of Santiago began to be built that it ended up becoming a baroque temple that for centuries hid behind its rococo altarpiece a Romanesque apse discovered by chance in the nineties. Recently restored and open to the public, it is for many one of the most surprising Romanesque findings of the last decades in our country, having recovered part of the original sculptures and their polychrome paintings.

 At the foot of the castle opens its magnificent porticoed square, called by the local Victoriano Borreguero 'the square of one hundred poles'. Pure Castilian style whose arcades are formed by stone columns and wooden floors, which is dressed in bullfighting, square shape, during the festivities in honor of the Sweet Name of Mary, held the first weekend of September.
