The Eagle's Nest: San Julian's Tower in Asturias

In the heart of Asturias, the Eagle's Nest, a testament to regional power and growth, reveals a tale of influence and transformation.

In the heart of Spain's Asturias region, the Tower of San Julian, or the Eagle's Nest, was the home of some of the most influential families in the region – the Estrada, Nava, and Argüelles. Built in the 17th century, this impressive structure showcases the unique crests of each family, symbolizing their union and growth of political influence. Yet, beyond its grandeur, the tower conceals a surprise: a wooden corridor typical of rural homes, unusual for a structure of such grandeur.
