The Inscription
On the tower’s stone plaque (partially eroded), the inscription matches what the explanatory sign below transcribes:
“ESTA OBRA ETERMINO DASER/TODA AÑOS DE DLV…/MAIORDOMO Ro MIN MAGRO…/DO Y REGIDORES FCO. FENBON/…/MAIORDOMO JOSE MATEOS”
This means:
“This work was finished in the year of … under mayordomo [chief steward] Rodrigo Min Magro … and regidores (councilmen) Francisco Fenbón … and mayordomo José Mateos.”
It’s a typical dedication inscription marking the completion of the tower and recording the officials in charge.
The “DLV” is likely a date in Roman numerals (possibly 1555, since DLV = 555, which might fit with the mid-16th century construction).
The Coat of Arms
The coat of arms is identified in the plaque text:
It is the coat of arms of Emperor Charles V (Carlos I of Spain).
It shows a two-headed eagle (the Habsburg imperial symbol).
This emblem was granted to San Martín de Trevejo by the monarch, along with the motto “Muy Noble y Muy Leal” (“Very Noble and Very Loyal”), a recognition of the town’s loyalty.
