Sepúlveda, Medieval municipality in Segovia Province, Spain.

The town stands on a promontory at 1009 meters elevation, with stone buildings overlooking the valleys of Duratón and Caslilla rivers.

In 940, Fernán González of Castile gained control of the area and established a charter to create a Christian settlement beyond the Duero River.

The Historic-Artistic Site contains seven Romanesque churches, including El Salvador from 1093, which represents the first Romanesque structure in Segovia Province.

The Fueros Museum, located in Santos Justo y Pastor Church, presents exhibits about local history and the development of medieval legal systems.

The natural surroundings include the Hoces del Río Duratón reserve, where limestone canyons create deep gorges along the river course.
