Fachada del Colegio de San Gregorio de Valladolid, sede central del Museo Nacional de Escultura
Selected for Google Earth [?] - ID: 68503578
Este magnífico edificio se construyó a finales del siglo XV por iniciativa de Alonso de Burgos, obispo de la diócesis de Palencia y dominico confesor de los Reyes Católicos. La fachada, un retablo en piedra, incluye elementos figurativos complejos que parecen apelar a la educación y sus beneficios. Se cree ver en ella la mano de Gil de Siloé. Es una preciada muestra del estilo isabelino, en la que empiezan a apuntarse rasgos del Renacimiento. El cuerpo bajo presenta un arco carpanel que acoge la portada, que está flanqueada por esculturas de salvajes: se ha dicho que hacen el oficio de guardianes. En el segundo cuerpo se muestra esculpido el árbol de la vida, junto con varios escudos de Fray Alonso de Burgos. El escudo de los Reyes Católicos preside la fachada. La diferencia entre éste y el escudo del patio separa la fecha en que se esculpieron: una anterior, otra posterior a la toma de Granada.

The facade, a stone altarpiece includes complex figurative elements that seem to appeal to the education and its benefits. It is believed that the hand of Gil de Siloe. It is a precious sample of the Isabelline style, in which they begin to join the Renaissance features. The body under presents an arc carpanel that welcomes the home, which is flanked by sculptures of wild: it has been said that act as guardians. In the second body is displayed carved the tree of life, along with several coats of Fray Alonso de Burgos. The coat of arms of the Catholic Kings presides over the facade. The difference between this and the shield of the patio separates the date on which it is sculpt: a previous, another back to the fall of Granada.
