The Medieval Ghost town: Fuenteungrillo's Abandonment Lasting Five Centuries

Located approximately four kilometers west of Villalba de los Alcores in the province of Valladolid, Spain, the archaeological discoveries reveal that Fuenteungrillo was inhabited from the late 10th and 11th centuries. It was abandoned between the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Today, only remnants of a fortification, a small castle, the central villa, multiple churches, and their necropolis remain. By shared agreement between the Consejería de Cultura de la Junta de Castilla y León and the Ayuntamiento de Villalba de los Alcores, Fuenteungrillo will be transformed into an archaeological museum site, with the intention of portraying the daily life of this medieval town through its remaining main streets, the castle, and some houses.
