Cerveriza: A village of 60 neighbors in four houses

We must look closely at the modest scale of Cerveriza. Historical census data from 1862 captures a precise moment in time when 60 neighbors occupied just four houses in the Castilla Vieja region.

The area was integrated into the municipality of Gallinero. Today, it remains a component of the Soria judicial district, resting within the wider landscape of the Almarza region.

We find a reliable record in the geographical dictionary of Pascual Madoz from the mid-19th century.

Cerveriza now stands as a despoblado. The remains of the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña still endure. These ruins served as an annex to the church in Lumbrerillas, providing a physical site for the community that once existed here.
