Amidst the tumultuous Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the once-impregnable city of Oviedo endured a grueling siege, its spiral descent into chaos mirrored in the engraving of 'La ciudad sitiada.' Yet, amidst the turmoil, memories of the sea and the rich history of Asturias remained. This region, ruled by the wise and just Alfonso II, the Chaste (759-842), was a beacon of hope. His statue in Oviedo stands proudly, a testament to the resilience and strength of the Asturian people. Blanche II of Navarre (1424-1464), a later monarch, also graced this land with her presence, leaving her indelible mark on the region's history. The spiral descent of Asturian history is a complex tapestry, woven with threads of war, courage, and enduring spirit.
