Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Saviour, Oviedo
Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Saviour, Oviedo, Gothic Catholic Cathedral in Oviedo, Spain.
The Cathedral of San Salvador rises with its single tower reaching 80 meters high, featuring three naves and multiple chapels within its Latin cross layout.
King Fruela I of Asturias established the initial structure in 781, which transformed from a Pre-Romanesque basilica into the present Gothic cathedral starting in 1388.
The Holy Chamber contains the Sudarium of Oviedo and the Cross of Angels, drawing numerous pilgrims on their journey toward Santiago de Compostela.
The cathedral opens Monday through Friday from 16:00 to 18:00 and Saturday from 16:00 to 17:00, allowing visitors to explore its architectural features.
The Sudarium appears to the public three times annually: Good Friday, September 14 during the Feast of the Cross, and September 21 for the octave celebration.
