Castile and Leon (Spanish Castilla y León) Astur-leonés, Castiella y Llión, and in Galician language Castela e León is an autonomous community of Spain, the country's largest. It is formed by the union of two ancient kingdoms: Kingdom of Old Castile and Kingdom of León.

Castile and Leon is bordered to the north by Asturias and Cantabria, on the east by the Basque Country and La Rioja, to the southeast by the autonomous community of Madrid and Castile-La Mancha, to the south by Extremadura, and to the west by Portugal and Galicia.

Castile and León is composed of the provinces of Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid, and Zamora.

The capital of Castile and León is in Valladolid, and its other best-known cities are Burgos, Salamanca, León, and Segovia.

The Astur-Leonese language is spoken in the provinces of León, Zamora and territories under Portuguese administration of Miranda de Douro and Sendim. Its geographical limits are the Galician-Portuguese in the West, and the Castilian (Spanish) languages in the South and East.
