Vildé – Tomb Monument, Gorges and Thermal Springs

Vildé combines its Roman past with a gorge-shaped body of water, thermal springs and paths along the Río Caracena. Particularly striking is the late Roman tower-shaped tomb monument from the 1st and 2nd centuries. It is considered the only known tower-shaped tomb monument in the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula outside the Mediterranean region.

Culture around Vildé

The archaeological area around the Roman tomb monument includes the Hispano-Roman settlement of Traslashuertas. It is regarded as a rural Hispano-Roman villa and adds to the historical perspective on the area. The Torre de la Mora has an access staircase and preserves remnants of frescoes. The church Catedral de la Asunción del Burgo de Osma is also located in the vicinity of Vildé.

Another fixed annual date is the patron-saint celebration in honour of San Benito and the Virgen de la Asunción. It is held from 20 to 23 August. Thus, Vildé brings together archaeological evidence, religious architectural heritage and a clearly defined festive period. Visitors can incorporate these themes independently into their scheduling.

Water and Gorges

The Pantano de Vildé lies in a gorge and contains blue-green water from the Río Caracena. A small dam impounds the water. Vildé also has thermal springs and spring-fed streams whose water has a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.

The water landscape therefore extends from the impounded Pantano through the gorge of the Río Caracena to the springs and spring-fed streams with their constant temperature. These different forms of water give the landscape section a clearly recognisable structure without conflating their characteristics.

Paths along the Río Caracena

The Pantano de Vildé is designated as one of the bathing areas in the province of Soria. One route begins in Villanueva de Gormaz and follows the river through the Cañón de Vildé. Another path leads from Vildé to the gorges of the Río Caracena and offers views of the Pantano de Vildé. This means that the choice of route involves two different starting points and courses: Villanueva de Gormaz at the beginning of the river route through the Cañón, and Vildé on the path to the gorges and Pantano.

The Pico de Grado lies in the wider regional surroundings of Vildé. Thus, in addition to the bodies of water and paths named directly, landscape destinations in the wider regional surroundings also form part of the area's geographical context.
