Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
San Julian de los Prados
The largest surviving pre-Romanesque church in Spain, with interior frescoes that imitate Roman villa decoration from the 9th century. Entry is free or nearly so, and the painted walls represent a unique bridge between Roman art and medieval European painting.
Santa Maria del Naranco
A 9th-century pre-Romanesque palace turned church on a hillside above Oviedo, part of the UNESCO-listed monuments of Asturian architecture. The building predates Romanesque art by a century, and its hilltop setting offers free panoramic views over the city and mountains.
