Presentation of Viloria de Rioja

The municipality of Viloria de Rioja (46 inhabitants in 2010; 695 ha; municipal website) is located 60 km of Burgos.

Viloria de Rioja was mentioned for the first time in a document of the San Miguel de Pedroso monastery dated 1028, as Villa Oria. The name of the village might refer to a dame who contributed to the resettlement, or, most simply, as Villa de Aurea (Gold), to the wealth of the village. The today's name of Viloria appeared in 1043 in a document of the San Millán de la Cogolla monastery.
St. Dominic de la Calzada (of the Causeway; 1019-1109) was, most probably, born in Viloria. The saint built a paved causeway as an alternative to the traditional Way of St. James between Logroño and Burgos. After his death, the village that had developed around his hermitage was renamed Santo Domingo de la Calzada, today a town and municipality (6,737 inh.) in La Rioja.
