Abstract

Due to the difficulty for finding references to Cástulo in Geographic Arabic sources, the aim of this article is to show certain information given by an Arab author: al-Qazwīnī (13th century), offering the translation of his text into Spanish, and to this extend, reconsider news given by the corpus of Islamic Geographic authors about Cástulo because, thanks to al-Qazwīnī, we can admit the existence of one Visigothic or Mozarabic sanctuary, probably an hermitage in Cástulo itsef or in its interland.
