Historic site of Olloniego, Historic grouping in Oviedo, Spain.

The historic site of Olloniego contains several medieval structures including a bridge with three remaining arches spanning across the former Nalón River path.

During the 16th century, King Philip II sold the village of Olloniego to Rodrigo Bernaldo de Miranda, leading to substantial changes in local governance.

The tower of Muñiz, constructed in the 14th century, served as a strategic point for collecting tithes from travelers crossing the medieval bridge.

The parish of Olloniego extends over 11.64 square kilometers and maintains an industrial zone that developed throughout the 1990s.

The bridge's location shifted when the Nalón River changed its course in 1676 due to significant flooding in the area.
