Question

Do you know where the region of Castile in Spain is?

Answer 1

Based on what I've read.... Castile is one of the historical regions in Spain. It was once a kingdom but gradually merged with the other kingdoms to become part of the Kingdom of Spain(at present Spain itself)..... ammmm.... it is located in the central region of Spain.....

Answer 2

A former kingdom, Castile (Spanish: Castilla; usually pronounced Cast-EEL in English), gradually merged with its neighbors to become the Kingdom of Spain. in modern-day Spain, it comprises the regions of Castilla y León in the north-west, and Castilla-La Mancha in the center of the country. Modern Spanish monarchs are numbered according to the system of Castile.

Castile's name means land or region of castles, in reference to the castles built in the area to consolidate the Christian re-conquest from the Moors.

Historically, the Castilian Kingdom and people were the architects of the Spanish State by a process of expansion to the South against the Muslims and of marriages, wars, assimilation, and annexation of their smaller Eastern and Western neighbours. From the advent of the Bourbon Monarchy following the War of the Spanish Succession until the arrival of parliamentary democracy in 1977, the Castilian language alone had an official status in the Spanish State.

Previously an eastern county of the kingdom of León, Castile in the 11th century became an independent realm with its capital at Burgos and later Valladolid, and the leading force in the northern Christian states' 400-year Reconquista ("reconquest") of central and southern Spain from the Muslim rulers who had dominated the peninsula since the 8th century......
