The population decline in the 20th century is largely due to the mechanization of agriculture and the associated loss of jobs.
economy
The farming on the fertile clay and loess soils of the Tierra de Campos and the keeping of small livestock (especially chickens) formed the livelihood of the self-sufficient population of the region for centuries ; Horses and donkeys were kept as draft and pack animals. Since the Middle Ages, handicrafts, retail trade and service companies of all kinds have developed, but these have mostly disappeared again.
history
In pre-Roman times the region belonged to the settlement area of the Celtic tribe of the Vaccaeans ; Later came the Romans and Visigoths and in the 8th century the area was overrun by the Moors - however, all four cultures left only a few archaeologically usable traces in the formerly possibly forested area. Already in the 9th century Asturian-Leonese army conquered the areas north of the Duero back ( reconquista ) . At the end of the 10th century, the Moorish military leader Almansor temporarily wiped out the Christian successes, but in the 11th century the Kingdom of León extended its territory again to the Duero border and pursued a policy of repopulation ( repoblación ). After previous attempts, León finally united with the Kingdom of Castile in 1230 , but disputes occurred again and again in the period that followed. The place experienced its heyday in the late Middle Ages and in the early modern period.
Attractions
- The Iglesia de San Vicente Mártir , built entirely from stone , dates from the 16th century. Your tower is accompanied by a smaller stair tower . The high nave is stabilized and structured on the outside by buttresses . On the north side there is an older - perhaps from a previous building - late Romanesque-Gothic portal, which protrudes slightly from the wall; the portal on the south side dates from the time the church was built. Inside, the nave is covered by a ribbed vault . The baroque high altar from the 17th century and three panel paintings from around 1540 are interesting .
- The ground floor of the town hall ( ayuntamiento ), built in the 18th century, is opened by three arcades, the outer ones of which form passageways to adjacent streets; the middle arch leads to the upper floor via a staircase.
- Only ruins remain of the former city wall.
