Iglesia de San Juan el Real, Minor basilica and parish church in Oviedo, Spain.
Iglesia de San Juan el Real is a Catholic parish church in Oviedo with a Latin cross layout, side chapels, and a central dome. The structure blends Romanesque Revival with eclectic design elements drawn from multiple architectural traditions.
Construction of the current building started in 1902 under architect Luis Bellido y González, replacing a previous structure demolished in 1882. The project reflected Oviedo's growth during that period with a new approach to religious architecture.
The church maintains its position as a central religious institution in Oviedo, conducting regular services and hosting community gatherings throughout the year.
The church sits in central Oviedo and is easy to access on foot. You can explore the interior details freely and join regular religious services held throughout the week.
The building received the designation of minor basilica in 2014, formally recognizing its religious and architectural importance. This elevation honored more than a century of service to Oviedo's local community.
