The 1587 fire of Castropol

Historical milestone · Castropol, Eo-Navia, Asturias

Image of Castropol, not of the place itself.

In 1587 a fire swept through the villa and destroyed most of its medieval housing, so that the historic ensemble walked through today is the fruit of the later rebuilding; only a few buildings, such as the chapel of El Campo, survived the fire.
