history

There is evidence of a settlement during the Roman occupation, but this has not yet been proven with certainty.

Sariego was first mentioned in 996 in a document in the Archdiocese of Oviedo , from which a donation from King Bermudo II and his wife Elvira to the monastery of San Pelayo in Oviedo emerges.

Persistent property disputes in the 12th and 13th centuries caused King Alfonso IX. to intervene. He appointed the independent community with its own jurisdiction and thus ended the dispute.

Jovellanos , one of the pioneers of the Enlightenment , built a pilgrims' hostel near the church of Santa María de Narzana during his exile in Asturias , which made the community an important stop on the Camino de la Costa .

In the early 19th century, the municipality was a passage area for the French army during the Spanish War of Independence . The guerrillas repeatedly inflicted bloody losses on the invading troops from the mountain slopes. During the Spanish Civil War , a small field airfield was set up in the community .
