Ducal town, seat of the House of Medinaceli

Its castle was the residence of the Counts of Medinaceli until they moved to the ducal palace on the Plaza Mayor, and the dukedom endowed the collegiate church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. In the War of Independence the Empecinado held out in the square against Napoleonic troops. The census of 1842 counted 398 households and 1,600 residents; today it is in the province of Soria.
