Image of Villagatón, not of the place itself.

Gatón, count of El Bierzo and brother of King Ordoño I of Asturias, extended towards Astorga in the mid-9th century the resettlement he had already led in El Bierzo and created, among other settlements, the one that bears his name and still keeps its calle del Palacio.
