Iglesia de San Isidoro, Catholic church in Plaza de la Constitución, Oviedo, Spain.
The Iglesia de San Isidoro is a Catholic church on Plaza de la Constitución in Oviedo with a Latin cross layout and a single nave. Inside, four connected sections of side chapels create a structured interior space, while a separate bell tower stands outside the main building.
The church was founded in 1576 as part of the Jesuit College of San Matías, with construction continuing until 1681 under architects including Francisco Menéndez Camina. This extended building period reflects the importance placed on the project.
The sculptures on the front wall depict San Isidoro, San Antonio de Padua, and the Archangel San Gabriel in separate niches. These religious figures shape how the church looks and show who it honors.
The church sits next to the Town Hall in central Oviedo and is easy to reach on foot. It welcomes visitors throughout the year while maintaining regular religious services, so it is worth checking opening times before you go.
The church holds a spiritual connection with the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome and offers visitors similar spiritual benefits. This uncommon bond between the two places makes it special for faithful travelers.
