O Páramo (Galician pronunciation: [ʊˈpaɾɐmʊ] ) is a municipality in the province of Lugo, in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It belongs to the comarca of Sarria. It has a population of 1632 persons (1.823 in 2006, 1.858 in 2005, 1.887 in 2004, 1.873 in 2003)[2] and an area of 74.92 km2.
Etymology
[edit ]The name Paramo comes from the Latinized Paramiensis. The first reference to this name is made on a manuscript dating back to 1078. However, it was only episcopal.[3]
History
[edit ]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]
