Torre de Belvis

Historical milestone · Villa del Rey, Comarca de Alcántara, Cáceres

Image of Villa del Rey, not of the place itself.

Villa del Rey may have arisen linked to the encomienda of Belvis y Navarra of the Order of Alcántara, of which only the name, the pasture land, and scant remains of its fortified house, the Torre de Belvis, survive, apparently destroyed by the infante Pedro de Aragón around 1431 during his revolts against his cousin Juan II of Castile.
