In this paper we present a synthesis of the results obtained during the anthropological and paleopathological study of the humans buried at the medieval necropolis of the Church of Santiago del Castillo. This site is located in the proximity of Castillo de Medina Sidonia (Cadiz, Spain). The construction of this church is dated to the second half of the XIV century, contemporary to the necropolis. During the excavation around 75 burials were located in simple ditches oriented East-West, following the pattern of Christian of Late Medieval burials. The material is found both in primary and secondary position, which leads to the superposition of burials in a reduced space. We have studied the health and illnesses of the individuals of this population. We have been able to identify environmental markers possibly related to physical activity, maxillary-dental affections and other processes, as well as other processes among which we must highlight infectious injuries, which have great importance in this study since the mainly appear on the long bones of a large number of individuals.
