Presentation of Galisteo

The municipality of Galisteo (918 inhabitants in 2019; 6,547 ha; municipal website) is located 80 km north of Cáceres and 25 km south-west of Plasencia.

Galisteo was in th Roman times a camp established by the inhabitants of the post of Rusticiana, which was located 2 km from the today's town. Some historians claim that Galisteo was Medina Ghaliayah, the citadel from which the Abbassid ruler Almanzor (949-1002) conquered Galicia. The town is indeed surrounded by an Almohad wall erected between the 9th and 14th centuries.
Galisteo was first documented in 1217, when Alfonso IX granted the town to the Order of Calatrava. Alfonso X the Wise granted Galisteo to his elder son, Fernando de la Cerda, in 1268.
García Fernández Manrique, Count of Castañeda and Osorio, was offered Galisteo in 1429 by John II. His descendants were elevated Count of Galisteo in 1451 and Duke of Galisteo on 1631.
