Church of Santa Eulalia

The Church of Santa Eulalia is a Gothic structure without side aisles located in the municipality of Cangas de Onís. Its simple layout and plain stonework are characteristic of medieval churches built in this mountain region.

The building dates to the 13th century and served as an important burial place in medieval times. Religious and political leadership eventually moved the remains to another location, changing the church's significance in the region.

The church remains central to the local community and continues to serve religious gatherings today. It reflects how faith has been practiced and passed down through generations in this mountain region.

The building is an active place of worship managed by the Catholic Church in the region. Visiting times are typically tied to services and local religious observances, so planning ahead is recommended.

The building once held the remains of a major historical figure from the region and represents one of few churches with such a direct connection to early medieval leadership. This buried history often surprises visitors who do not immediately grasp the location's former importance.
