Siete Iglesias de Trabancos
Village
Siete Iglesias de Trabancos is a village of 413 inhabitants in the Valladolid comarca of Tierra del Vino, on the open Castilian plateau beside the river Trabancos, on the way to the Duero; the village stands at 722 metres. It owes its name to the seven temples it once had, of which only the parish church of San Pelayo survives today, with a single nave under a barrel vault; its main altarpiece shows San Pelayo flanked by San Sebastián and San Isidro beneath an Assumption of the Virgin, and it holds a glass-protected Nazarene, the work of the sculptor Francisco de Losada. The chapel of Cristo del Humilladero is also preserved. Until 1916 the municipality was called simply Siete Iglesias, and on its grounds remain the ruins of the castles of Eván de Arriba and Eván de Abajo.

Of the group that gave the place its name only two churches remain standing: Santa María del Castillo, Santo Tomé, Santa Olalla, San Pedro and San Juan have disappeared; the reform of 1916 added the surname of Trabancos.
The Nazarene by Francisco de Losada
Monument
The parish church of San Pelayo, of a single nave with a barrel vault, preserves a Nazarene carved by Francisco de Losada; the Cristo del Humilladero occupies a small hermitage on the outskirts of the village.
