San Esteban del Monte


San Esteban del Monte, also named Santisteban, or simply San Esteban was a town in the province of Segovia, currently belonging to the municipality of Lastras de Cuéllar, in the current autonomous community of Castilla y León. It belonged to the Community of Villa and Tierra de Cuéllar, being framed within the Sexmo de Hontalbilla.

Its municipal area is located about 2,000 meters northwest of Lastras de Cuéllar, following the path of the Lagunas de Lastras, in a humid and swampy terrain. The first documentary news dates from 1247, and is sometimes named as San Esteban del Pinar or Santisteban. It was an important nucleus within the Community, and the constructions extended by the surface that delimit the streams of the Stork, the Hague and the Caces. It was depopulated in the first third of the seventeenth century and still retains an important part of the tower and cobblestone of its church, as well as different walls belonging to its buildings.
