The municipality of Ledesma includes rural land and covers a total of 141.22 km2 (54.53 sq mi).

The part within the walls such as the accesses and towers connected it to an annex building, possibly a palace.

The Plaza de la Fortaleza is a large landscaped esplanade that shelters a series of subways, vaulted chambers, conduits, and powder magazines.

Today, only the arch through which Calle de los Curas runs in the lower part of the tower remains.

The great extension that was made between 1492 and 1500 was commissioned to Juan Gil de Hontañón el Viejo and consists of the construction of the entire nave of the church up to the triumphal arch that separates it from the Main Chapel and the middle body of the tower, decorated with the typical Elizabethan balls.
