Valladolid
Valladolid is a city in northern Spain at the meeting of the Pisuerga and Esgueva rivers, capital of Castile and León. Developed by Count Pedro Ansúrez in the late 11th century, it became a favoured residence of the Castilian court, the seat of a high court and a university. Ferdinand and Isabella married there in 1469, Philip II was born there, and it was briefly the capital of Spain from 1601 to 1606.
