El Centellazo

Historical milestone · Villamayor, La Armuña, Salamanca

Image of Villamayor, not of the place itself.

On 1 August 1774 a lightning bolt entered through the bell tower of the church of San Miguel Arcángel seeking earth, without causing casualties. The event was recorded in a slate inscription that the village preserves and that calls the episode the Centellazo.
