Geography[edit]


The town is located on a plain area, near the river Odra, 51 km (32 mi) west of Burgos and 54 km (34 mi) northeast of Palencia. It is crossed by the roads BU-400 and BU-403.[2]



History[edit]



Name[edit]


The town was originally named Castrillo Motajudíos ("Jew hill camp") in 1035 when Jews fleeing from a nearby pogrom settled there; it was changed to Castrillo Matajudíos ("Jew-killer camp") in 1627 during a period of religious persecution of non-Christians in Spain (the Jews had been expelled from Spain in 1492 during the Spanish Inquisition).[3] In June 2015 the name was changed back to Castrillo Mota de Judíos following a campaign led by mayor Lorenzo Rodríguez leading to a vote among the villagers in May 2014.[3][4]



Personalities[edit]



  • Antonio de Cabezón (1510–1566) – Composer and organist[5]


Popular culture[edit]


The 2005 French film Saint-Jacques... La Mecque, directed by Coline Serreau,[6] was set also in the town.[citation needed]
