The "vara castellana" is a historical unit of length that was used in Spain. It was commonly used for land measurement and other purposes in various regions of Spain, especially in the Castile region, which is why it is called the "castellana" vara. The exact length of the vara castellana could vary by region and historical period.
In general, the vara castellana was approximately 835.9 millimeters or about 32.91 inches in length. However, variations existed, and in different parts of Spain and at different times in history, the length of the vara castellana could differ slightly.
Like many historical units of measurement, the vara castellana has largely been replaced by more standardized and modern systems of measurement, such as the metric system. In contemporary Spain, the metric system is the standard for length measurement.
Millimeter (mm): The millimeter is equal to one one-thousandth of a meter (0.001 meters). It is frequently used for very precise measurements, such as the thickness of paper or the diameter of small objects.
