Aguilar de Campoo

The historic center of Aguilar de Campoo features the Pisuerga River flowing through stone buildings and preserved medieval gates dating from different centuries.

Alfonso X granted Aguilar a royal fuero in 1255, establishing it as a royal demesne until 1332, marking a period of administrative independence.

The Monastery of Santa María la Real, constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries, contains a museum displaying numerous Romanesque art pieces.

The municipality stands at 892 meters elevation and maintains six of its original seven medieval gates, including the Puerta de Reinosa with Hebrew inscriptions.

Aguilar de Campoo houses Spain's largest biscuit manufacturer, Galletas Gullón, which has operated in the town since 1904.
