Berlanga de Duero is a municipality located in the province of Soria, in the autonomous region of Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2017 census (conducted by the INE), the municipality has a population of 902 inhabitants.
History
Three archaeological investigations have found Roman remains at Berlanga, including pottery and glass fragments and the Berlanga Cup. The Berlanga Cup lists the names of four forts on Hadrian's Wall, and possibly belonged to a legionary veteran from a Spanish cohort who returned home after service in Britain.
Following the expulsion of the Jews of Spain in 1492, Berlanga appears in royal legal records involving conversos (Jews who had converted to Christianity), with cases showing some family members remaining Jewish and leaving in exile while others later returned and adopted Christianity.
Geography Berlanga de Duero sits at above sea level in the northeastern foothills of the Ayllón mountain range. It has a continental Mediterranean climate, with long, cool winters—due in part to its altitude. The town is bisected by the Douro river, from which it derives part of its name, as well as the Douro's tributaries, the Escalote and Talegones.
