Description
Legend syas that in this cave Our lady of Covadonga appears to Pelagius. Battles of the Kingdom of Asturias The Battle of Covadonga was the first victory by Christian military forces in Iberia since the Islamic conquest of Hispania in 711ââ¬â718. It was fought at Covadonga, most likely in the summer of 722. The battle followed the creation in 718 of an independent Christian principality in the mountains of the northwestern region of the Iberian peninsula that grew into the Kingdom of Asturias and became a bastion of Christian resistance to the expansion of Muslim rule. As a result, the Battle of Covadonga has been credited by historians with catalyzing the Reconquista or the `reconquest` of Christian rule to the entire peninsula.
