Come home to Paradise

A unique style in Europe Twelve temples and three civil buildings, dated between the 8th and 10th centuries, make up the most complete and best-preserved set of architecture from the highmedieval period in western Europe, with beautiful pieces of precious metal work. Its artistic and historical singularity has been recognised by UNESO since 1985. Buildings that enjoy this distinction are San Julián de los Prados, SanMiguel de Lillo, Santa María del Naranco, the Holy Chamber de Oviedo, the Foncalada fountain and Santa Cristina de Lena.
