Monuments of Oviedo and the Kingdom of the Asturias
Monuments of Oviedo and the Kingdom of the Asturias, Medieval Christian architectural complex in Oviedo, Spain.
The complex comprises six main structures including churches, a palace, and a fountain house constructed during the early 9th century in northern Spain.
The monuments emerged during the Kingdom of Asturias period from 791 to 842, when King Alfonso II and Ramiro I established Oviedo as their court seat.
San Julian de los Prados church contains extensive mural paintings that demonstrate the fusion of Roman techniques with medieval Christian architectural traditions.
The monuments distribute between Oviedo city center and surrounding hills, with Santa Cristina de Lena located 22 miles south of the main group.
Santa Maria del Naranco started as a royal palace but transformed into a church in the tenth century, displaying intricate stone craftsmanship and architectural details.
