Oviedo, Regional capital city in northern Spain
The streets of Oviedo's old quarter feature yellow stone buildings, Gothic architecture, and numerous public squares connected by narrow pedestrian passages.
Founded by two monks in 761, Oviedo grew into a significant city during the Kingdom of Asturias as a strategic center against Muslim occupation.
The Cathedral of San Salvador contains the Camara Santa, a 9th-century chapel housing important religious artifacts and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The city center provides easy access to traditional cider houses along Calle Gascona, where local beverages are served according to regional pouring techniques.
La Foncalada stands as Europe's only preserved example of pre-Romanesque civil architecture, featuring a medieval fountain system from the 9th century.
