Spanish town to vote on name change

Spanish hamlet 'Kill Jews Fort' to vote on name change

A sign with the name of the village of Castrillo Matajudios (Kill Jews Fort) is seen near its entrance in northern Spain.

The village of Castrillo Matajudios in northern Spain will vote on Sunday on whether to change the name it has had for 400 years and purge a vestige of the religious persecution meted out by the Roman Catholic Inquisition.

There are lots of small towns that had "del Caudillo" added to their name during the Franco era and still have it. Or streets named after civil war fascist generals or Falange leaders.
