Palas de Rei, Spain

Palas de Rei Spain

The history of Palas de Rei is closely linked to military culture, which has left many archaeological remains (dolmens and forts) from early settlements. According to tradition, the town owes its name, “Pallatium regis,” to the palace of the Visigoth king Witiza, who ruled between 702 and 710. In Palas, Witiza is said to have killed the Duke of Galicia, Favila, father of Don Pelayo. The Romanesque style arrived via the Way of St. James, leaving its mark on religious architecture. The church of Vilar de Donas stands out as one of the main landmarks of Galician Romanesque, declared a historical-artistic monument in 1931. Its murals are among the most outstanding and best preserved in Galicia.
