The Tomb of Doña Mencía Enríquez de Toledo (d. 1479), Duchess of Alburquerque and second wife of Don Beltrán de la Cueva, from the monastery of San Francisco in Cuéllar (Segovia), anchors the museum in medieval continuity, its stillness carrying more authority than any explanatory plaque. It is not dramatic; it is declarative—a reminder that memory once had mass and permanence.
Nearby, the Ceramics Collection extends that sense of endurance into daily life. Bowls, tiles, and vessels—humble, precise, and unapologetically functional—quietly affirm that beauty, when ordered to use and tradition, does not fade.
