Valpuesta

Valpuesta was a Catholic historical suffragan diocese in Castile, northern Spain, and has been nominally restored as the Latin titular see Valliposita.

History

The diocese was established in 800 AD, as a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Tarragona.

It was suppressed in 1087 and its territory merged into the then bishopric of Burgos (now a metropolitan Archdiocese).
