The Marquisate of Iria Flavia (Spanish: Marquésado de Iria Flavia) is a hereditary title in the Spanish nobility. This marquisate was bestowed by Juan Carlos I of Spain by Royal Decree 1137/1996, on 17 May 1996 on the author and Nobel laureate, Camilo José Cela, in recognition of his contribution to the Spanish language.[1] The title recalls the Celtiberian port of Iria Flavia in Galicia, northwestern Spain, where Cela was born and is now buried, which was so named by the Romans to complement Empress Flavia, wife of Vespasian.
The current holder of the title is his son, Camilo José Cela y Conde.
