Church of San Tirso, Oviedo
Church of San Tirso, Oviedo, Medieval church in Oviedo, Spain
The Church of San Tirso displays a rectangular sanctuary with a notable triadic light window featuring rough brick arches and leaf-decorated capitals.
Royal architect Tioda constructed the church in 801 during the reign of Alfonso II, incorporating elements of early medieval architecture in its design.
The structure represents Asturian architecture through its round arches, stone piers, and barrel vaults, which divide the nave into separate aisles.
Located at Plaza Alfonso II el Casto 4, the church stands near Oviedo Cathedral and connects to multiple religious heritage sites.
The Great Fire of 1521 destroyed most original features except one three-light window, leading to substantial reconstruction in the 18th century.
