Abstract

This heading goes according with the aim of making out how was it produce the organization of the population centres in the actual territory of Castilla yLeón. On virgin places, inhabited because of the Moslem control on the Iberian Peninsula, from the X century an intensive phenomenon of urban creation appeared, similar but shorter than in the rest of Europe. They are shown different urban centres periods on these unpopulated areas: high-medieval system, plenum medieval evolution on the north of the Duero River, the repopulation of different Christian kingdoms and the colonization of the south places after the Toledo’s conquest by Alfonso VI in 1085.

This intensive repopulation process, so transcenden- tal in the control of the territories and finally in the dominance of a big part of the Peninsula, was also the antecedent of the colonization job of the Ame- rican Continent, that Castilla realized with a huge effi- ciency on a thirty year period of the XVI century.
