- Ermita de San Saturio — The little white hermitage clinging to the Duero’s cliffs; dramatic setting, great light for photos and the riverside walks up to it really show why Soria feels a bit romantic and slightly wild at the same time.
- Paseo del Espolón — The tree-lined riverside promenade where locals stroll, sit on benches and gossip; perfect for a slow afternoon, people-watching, and catching some of the city’s best sunsets.
- Plaza Mayor — Soria’s compact civic heart: terraces, the town hall and old merchant houses. It’s the easiest place to feel local life — markets, cafés and a good starting point for wandering the old town.
- Catedral de San Pedro — A Gothic cathedral with layered history and an atmospheric interior; the architecture and chapels give a clear sense of Soria’s medieval

- Iglesia de San Juan de Rabanera — A tidy Romanesque church with a solid bell tower and nice carved capitals — a compact, real-deal slice of medieval Soria away from the busier squares.
- Iglesia de Santo Domingo and its claustro — A Gothic church with a quiet cloister that’s great for a peaceful stop; the stones here carry centuries of local life and occasional small exhibitions.
