The ruins of Astudillo Castle rise on a prominent mound detached from the San Martín moor. Although its origins may date back to the 10th century, there is no documentary evidence of its existence until the 11th century.

The Yeseras de Astudillo refer to an ancient artisanal and industrial activity related to the extraction and processing of gypsum, a widespread activity in this area of the province of Palencia. Although not as well-known as other monuments in the town, they are part of the region's ethnographic and geological heritage.

Astudillo (Palencia) is a hidden gem of great historical and architectural value! Must-see places in Astudillo: Convent of Santa Clara and Palace of Pedro I, La Mota Castle, Plaza Mayor, historic churches, underground passageways, among many other attractions.

The Castillo de la Mota in Astudillo, also known as the Astudillo Castle, is a late medieval fortification dating from the 12th-13th centuries. It is located on an artificial mound on top of a gentle hill in the province of Palencia, Castile and León. This castle witnessed numerous historical events and served as the residence of illustrious figures such as Pedro I of Castile and María de Molina. Although only an ultra-semicircular cube and some remains of masonry from the walled enclosure remain today, it remains a jewel of local heritage.
