Bembibre (Spanish pronunciation: [bemˈbiβɾe]) is a municipality and a city located in the region of El Bierzo, province of León, Castile and León, Spain.

The second largest urban settlement in the region of El Bierzo, it is considered as the capital of traditional shire called "Bierzo Alto".

The numerous remains of Cisastur fortifications (castros) found along the city's surroundings prove that man has inhabited these lands from ancient times.

However, the origin of the current settlements goes back to the repopulations made in the Middle Ages during the centuries ninth through eleventh, linked to the Church and the edification of several monasteries in the region.
