History
Name
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]
There have been several anti-Jewish incidents since the name change.[5]
In 2022, the town inaugurated a Sephardic Jewish memorial center to pay tribute to its history of Sephardic Jewry.[6]
