Sepúlveda
Sepúlveda is a small historic town in the province of Segovia in Castile, Spain, set on a rock above the gorges of the Duratón. Fortified by the counts of Castile in the tenth century, it received in 1076 from Alfonso VI a fuero, or local charter, granting settlers freedom, land and self-government. The fuero of Sepúlveda became a model for the settlement of the lands between the Duero and the Tagus.
