Palace of Ron

Monument · Pesoz, Eo-Navia, Asturias

The Palacio de Ron, also known as the Palacio de Monteserín, is a manor house built in the 17th and 18th centuries by the Ron family, who attained great power in western Asturias, at the centre of the municipality of Pesoz, the least populated in the area, with barely one hundred and fifty residents. It belonged to Álvaro Díaz, governor of Asturias under Ferdinand VII, and in 1909 its façade was renovated, arranged over two storeys with windows on the ground floor and balconies with wrought-iron parapets on the upper floor. It is organised in four wings around a courtyard with Tuscan columns; it has an exterior chapel with a bell gable and holds a 12th-century carving of the Virgin of the Tear. On its grounds also stands a medieval 12th-century square tower. It shares the spotlight with the church of Santiago de Pesoz.
