Čo vidieť v Oviedu

Oviedo Essentials

Oviedo showcases a dense concentration of UNESCO-listed pre-Romanesque architecture, including the 9th-century churches of Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo on Mount Naranco. The historic core is defined by the Gothic Cathedral of San Salvador and its sacred Holy Chamber. Elegant 18th-century palaces like Velarde and Camposagrado house cultural institutions, while the pedestrianized streets feature a unique collection of public sculptures, ranging from literary characters like Mafalda to filmmaker Woody Allen. The Mercado del Fontán serves as a central hub for local Asturian gastronomy.
