Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias

Reviewed By Brimble - Lagos, Portugal

I'm very pleased to say that, contrary to usual Spanish expectations, the museum was actually open for a few hours on a Sunday. And very pleased we were... First things first, it's free. But we wouldn't have minded paying for such a treat. The informative layout, with both English and Spanish notes, is welcoming, interesting and a work of genuine passion The collection is varied, with many local artists well represented, alongside a couple of 'cameo' pieces from Picasso, Miro, Gargallo, Braque, etc. No crowds, so a leisurely stroll through the three levels, each representing different styles and periods. This was a real privilege, for which we are grateful. Not to be missed.

Catedral de San Salvador de Oviedo

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

The Cathedral dates back to the 8th century, though it was substantially rebuilt in Gothic style in the 13th and 14th centuries, with major Baroque additions in the 17th and 18th centuries. The cathedral contains many relics including pieces of the holy shroud and one of the urns which are said to have been used for the water Jesus turned into wine. As with many cathedrals, the stonemasons saved their most creative work for the cloister - no two of the stone capitals are the same, though the cloister is a little odd with a Baroque addition on top. Originally the carvings would have been painted, of which traces remain. Off of the cloister is the beautiful Chapter House with its octagonal vaulting and carved seats. One of the glories of the cathedral is the altarpiece with the images set in a gilded wooden frame and there is an extensive and fascinating museum open as part of your visit.

San Miguel de Lillo

Reviewed By PostcardsFromVLC

A Roman Catholic church that was built on Mount Naranco and is situated near the Church of Santa María del Naranco. It was consecrated in 842 and only 1/3 of the original structure still stands. It is pretty incredible to see it up close and imagine what life was like back then. A must see when you are in Oviedo - a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Santa Maria del Naranco

Reviewed By VadimM67 - Murmansk, Russia

Santa Maria del Naranco was included as part of the monuments of Oviedo in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1985. Only Cordoba, Granada, Barcelona's Gaudi, Escorial and Burgos were included a year earlier. All the other almost 40 monuments are later or much later. It's hard to understand without being Spanish. Asturias is the core, the starting point of Spain. Everything else, as the asturians proudly say, is just an increment of territory. Santa Maria del Naranco doesn't look like a Church. It was actually built originally as the state hall of a country Royal Palace for Ramiro I in 842. The forest for hunting was here at that time. The Church turned out to be elegant because of the open loggias and external stairs. Its fragility is given by its location on the meadow. The Church is located outside the city limits. You can get here by bus number 2, but I walked from the IBIS hotel in the morning. I didn't get inside, everything was closed, but judging by the photo, the exterior is better than the interior.

Campo de San Francisco

Reviewed By OletAbad - San Francisco, United States

So without any itinerary, we proceeded to walk west from our apartment and found ourselves in a park called Campo de San Francisco. Within its grounds were carefully manicured lawns and magnificent trees punctuated with old and new low key structures, examples of which are an ancient arch, modern sculptures, outdoor cafe, children’s playground, skateboard park, and hidden ponds populated by ducks and the ubiquitous pigeons. Each tree had an information placard that identified its genus and species much like a botanical garden. Its tranquil atmosphere stands in contrast to the traffic around its periphery. It was the perfect setting to have another cafe americano!

Esculturas Oviedo

Reviewed By PostcardsFromVLC

On our visit to Oviedo, we were pleasantly surprised to see all the statues planted all over the city. We then did a little research and we were able to visit 22 of them. Amazing!!!! So many sculptures. So little time. Oviedo, the capital city of Asturias, boasts over 100 sculptures that include statues of a milkmaid and donkey based on a local character from the early 1900s, a traveller surrounded by luggage, pregnant and nursing mothers, what looks to be the world’s largest buttocks sculpture and of course, Woody Allen!
