Villalpando

Town Hall

Villalpando is a municipality in the province of Zamora in the Autonomous Community of Castile and León, capital of the Tierra de Campos region of Zamora. The municipal territory is crossed by the Valderaduey River and the Bustillo or Navajos River, which flows into the former at a point very close to the town. For some, Intercatia, an important city of the Vacceos, was located here. Its name, with Gothic resonances, seems to come from Villa Elijando. It was repopulated during the time of King Ferdinand II of León (1170), who fortified it with a castle and a stone fence, with a circular layout, housing in that primitive nucleus seven churches, which reached twelve in the 13th century, along with a Franciscan convent and two hospitals.
