Historical milestone · Destriana, La Bañeza, León

Image of Destriana, not of the place itself.

Ramiro II of León, who reigned between 931 and 951, founded a pre-Benedictine monastery in the Duerna floodplain under the patronage of San Miguel Arcángel, endowed with royal properties, which became a driving force behind the repopulation of the Destriana valley.
