Show sight on map

The Mogrovejo Tower is a stately complex in the town of Mogrovejo, in the municipality of Camaleño (Cantabria), located on a mid-slope of the Picos de Europa, dominating the town. It is protected by the Royal Decree of 22 April 1949 and declared a historic site in 1985. It was built at the end of the thirteenth century by the lords of Mogrovejo, who were already a distinguished family in 1248, when King Sancho granted them the monastery of San Martín de Mogrovejo. An example of their power is that they could handpick the mayors of all the towns in the Valdebaró valley. At the end of the fourteenth century, the Mogrovejo family became related to the Lasso de la Vega family, a powerful family located in present-day Torrelavega. Due to another union, celebrated in the eighteenth century, the possession of the tower fell to the Álvarez de Miranda family from Benllera (León), who still have it. [citation needed]
