Castrojeriz
The origin of Castrojeriz is uncertain. It appears documented for the first time in the Cronicón Albeldense, where it is named as Castrum Sigerici, although in later documents it evolves to Castro Xeriz, Castro Sorit, Castro Surit, and Castra Sorecia, from the Codex Calíxtino, a guide for pilgrims of the XII century.
What is certain is that Castrojeriz has its origin at the top of the hill, on which sits the castle which is called Castro. The pottery found on the surface and excavations at the top of the hill, show that there was a settlement in the Bronze Age, with an antiquity of about 1,500 years BC.
Every year, thousands of pilgrims and tourists visit us and take a tour through the streets of this town steeped in history and art. With a markedly hospitable character, Castrojeriz offers itself to the world as a town that thinks about its future, without forgetting its past and living a present for which its inhabitants work every day.
