Arrabalde is a municipality located in the province of Zamora, Castile and León, Spain.
Place name
[edit | edit source]The name comes from the Arabic rabad "neighborhood, suburb", with the assimilated article al- : arrabád. In Spanish it was arrabal , while in Galician , Portuguese and Astur-Leonese it became arrabalde . As dispersed rural habitats are very common in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula , the term arrabalde soon acquired the meaning of "neighborhood or village detached from the main nucleus". In this case, Arrabalde owes its name to its status as a satellite village of a larger nearby population, or, more likely, to the fact that the town was founded next to an old ruined nucleus. [1]
History
[edit | edit source]Its history dates back to ancient times, with the presence of a Neolithic dolmen, an Asturian settlement from the Iron Age, and during the Roman conquest, located in the Castro de las Labradas. In the vicinity of this town, Don Victorino Llordén, a lawyer from Benavente and antiquarian, found the Arrabalde Treasure, one of the most important pre-Roman treasures in Spain, which is now on display in the Provincial Museum of Zamora. In 2020, remains of a Roman-era military camp were found in the area. [2]
