The dramatic population decline in the 20th century is essentially 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, small trade and service companies of all kinds have developed, but have now 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, none of the four cultures left any 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 expanded its territory again to the Duero border. After previous attempts, León finally united with the Kingdom of Castile in 1230 , but there were repeated clashes. The place experienced its heyday in the late Middle Ages and in the early modern period.
Attractions
- The Iglesia de San Pedro comes from the 16th and 17th centuries and is built almost entirely from bricks in the old Mudejar tradition ; the bell tower added at the beginning of the 20th century shows plastered field fillings made of quarry stone. The north, west and south sides of the building were for a long time surrounded by a portico ( galería porticada ), which however fell victim to restoration measures at the beginning of the 21st century. The interior of the church contains three baroque altars; the central nave is vaulted, the two side aisles have flat roofs.
