Church of San Servacio

Iglesia de San Servacio

A white twin-towered church on the south side of the central square, the town's landmark. After a bloody 18th-century incident, its main entrance was rebuilt to face north.

The church was first built in 1545. In 1703, two officials were assassinated inside the church in an event known as the 'Mayor's Murder.' Afterward, the bishop ordered the old church torn down. It was rebuilt in 1706, with its main entrance moved from west to north, a rarity among colonial-era churches. Today the church has two bell towers, and its white façade faces the square. It is lit up at night and is the quintessential postcard view of Valladolid. Entry is free, but please keep quiet during Mass.
