San Miguel de Lillo, Pre-Romanesque church on Mount Naranco, Oviedo, Spain.
The San Miguel de Lillo church presents a basilica ground plan with three aisles, stone latticework windows, and tall columns supporting decorated capitals.
King Ramiro I of Asturias commissioned this religious structure in 842, and together with his wife Paterna consecrated it to Saint Mary in 848.
The church contains marble pilasters and capitals with decorative elements influenced by Byzantine and North African artistic traditions of the ninth century.
Visitors can reach the church through a 150-meter path from the parking area, with guided tours starting at Santa María del Naranco church.
The structure includes a rare tribune accessed through a narrow stone stairway, featuring four decorated arches that correspond to four separate doors.
