Church of San Salvador de Valdediós, Pre-Romanesque church in Villaviciosa, Spain

The Church of San Salvador de Valdediós features three naves separated by semicircular arches, with a central sanctuary and two side aisles for worship purposes.

Seven bishops attended the consecration ceremony of the church on September 16, 893, marking a significant moment in the religious history of Asturias.

The structure incorporates elements of Mozarabic architecture, with horseshoe arches and geometric wall paintings that reflect the artistic influences of medieval Spain.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands along the AS-113 road between Villaviciosa and La Secada, with parking facilities for visitors.

The royal tribune above the vestibule created a separate space that divided the ruling class from regular congregants during religious services.
