Historical milestone · Destriana, La Bañeza, León

Image of Destriana, not of the place itself.

Withdrawn to the monastery of San Miguel after clashing with his cousin Vermudo II, the Leonese king died here in 984 at barely twenty-four years of age and was buried within the monastic precinct. Centuries later Ferdinand II ordered his remains moved to Astorga.
