The Salio Granary in Riaño is a very special piece of León's rural heritage, steeped in history and symbolism. It was originally located in the village of Salio, which belonged to the municipality of Pedrosa del Rey. Salio was one of the villages flooded by the Riaño reservoir in the 1980s, along with others such as La Puerta, Huelde, and Riaño Viejo. To preserve its memory, the granary was moved stone by stone and rebuilt in the new Riaño, along with the chapel and the sculpture of the bells that pay tribute to the submerged villages.

The most important detail of these granaries - which are always deliberately built on stilts - is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped end at the top of the supporting columns. This special feature of the construction of the "horreos" was vitally important in ancient times: these elements represent an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as rats or mice, and thus protect the harvest from these uninvited guests.
