O Páramo

O Páramo (Galician pronunciation: [ʊ ˈpaɾɐmʊ]) is a municipality in the province of Lugo, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain.

The first reference to this name is made on a manuscript dating back to 1078.

[3] The first reference made to Paramo is in the division of the eleven counties and three parishes into which Lugo was divided into at a council lasting from 569 to 572.

A slight discussion is made about this council in Xoan Pallares e Gaioso's (1614-1698) book "Argos Divina, Nuestra Señora de los ojos grandes" (Divine Argos, Our lady with the large eyes), which says: "During the Council of Lugo, as said in the archives of the Church, under the reign of Teodomiro, the limits of each county were decided.

"[4] In Roman times, roughly 170 Christians were killed on a hill in Paramo called Paramo hill[5] Here is a list of all parishes found in Paramo, with their Saint's name or spelling variants in brackets:
