By the time of Roman Empire, the ancient city of Dessobriga was placed between the municipalities of Melgar de Fernamental, Osorno La Mayor and Osornillo, being its land Melgarese ground today. However, through this area passed multiple roman roadways. Among them, the most important was the Hispania-Italica, which passed through cities such as Caesaraugusta, Segisamone and Asturicaugusta. The Saldania Roadway started by the river Pisuerga, opposite the town. The Pisuerga Roadway connected the actual municipalities of Herrera de Pisuerga and Astudillo, passing on the fertile plain of the river at the foot of Melgar.

==Photographic Video Artwork==

The 24th November, 2007, a melgarese neighbour created a photographic video artwork about the town which was very appreciated by both inhabitants of Melgar and visitors. It is a summary of marvellous hidden corners, fiestas, meeting places, hermitages, people, surroundings, landscapes and much more.
