Church in Oviedo
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.

Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
Oviedo Cathedral
This Gothic cathedral houses the Camara Santa, a pre-Romanesque chapel holding treasures from the Asturian kings and a UNESCO designation. The single soaring tower dominates the old town skyline, and the cloister offers quiet free access.
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.
