Gozón is a municipality located in the autonomous community of Asturias, in northern Spain. To provide some historical context, I'll cover a general overview of the history of Asturias, which encompasses Gozón as well.

Ancient History:Asturias has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. During the pre-Roman era, the region was inhabited by Celtic tribes, with the Astures being the most prominent group. The Astures fiercely resisted Roman expansion into their territory, and it was only in 19 BC that the Romans were able to fully conquer the region, establishing it as a Roman province.

Early Medieval Period:In the early medieval period, after the fall of the Roman Empire, the region of Asturias played a crucial role in the Christian Reconquista against the Moors (Muslims) who had invaded the Iberian Peninsula. It was in Asturias where a Visigothic nobleman named Pelayo led a successful rebellion against the Moors in the 8th century. This victory is often considered the starting point of the Reconquista, as Pelayo established the Kingdom of Asturias, and his successors gradually expanded Christian rule in the Iberian Peninsula.
