Church of Santo Adriano de Tuñón, Pre-Romanesque church in Santo Adriano, Spain.

The Church of Santo Adriano de Tuñón stands near the River Trubia, featuring a classic basilica layout with a bell gable and western nave extension.

King Alfonso III of Asturias and Queen Jimena of Navarra established the church as a monastery on January 24, 891, with bishops from Coimbra and León.

The interior walls contain rediscovered Mozarabic murals, representing the single remaining collection of paintings from an Asturian art workshop of that period.

The church measures 14 meters in length and 10 meters in width, requiring advance reservations for guided tours to access the interior spaces.

The structure combines original ninth-century architectural elements with additions from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, maintaining its religious function through centuries.
