What to see and do in La Aldea del Obispo

La Aldea del Obispo, donación episcopal de Trujillo
Village
290 inhabitants (INE 2025), 444 m in altitude, 37.34 km². It originated in a 13th-century episcopal grant: Ferdinand III the Saint gave these lands to the bishop of Plasencia after the reconquest of Trujillo in 1232. It became independent from Trujillo in 1812. A 1916 decree renamed it "Aldea de Trujillo"; in 1997, after 81 years, its townspeople voted unanimously to restore the original name, adding "La" to distinguish it from another town of the same name in Salamanca.

18th-century Baroque parish church, built on the base of a 16th-century bell tower. It preserves a 14th-century Gothic wooden carving of the Virgen del Carrascal.
