History



Almost everywhere in Asturia you find Prehistorian Signs, also in the region Laviana. Some Hill Forts and Dolmen made in the Bronze Age and in the Iron Age are still visitable (Castro de El Cercu, El Prau in Castiello and La Corona in Boroñes).Also the Romans built some Bridges along the Rio Nalon Street which are used today.
The name Flaviana was written down first time, in 1115 when the area was bordered to the Monastery "San Vicente de Oviedo".During the Peninsular War and the Carlism revolution, Laviana was the area for some famous battles.
