Asturias Religious Heritage

Asturias holds a unique position in European architectural history, most notably for its 9th-century pre-Romanesque churches such as Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo. This collection spans from the sacred mountain sanctuary of Covadonga, a site of immense historical significance for the Spanish Reconquista, to the Cistercian architecture of Valdediós. The list also includes Romanesque parish churches and coastal chapels, reflecting the region's long-standing role as a pilgrimage destination along the Camino de Santiago.
