Iglesia de Santa María del Conceyu, Gothic church in Llanes, Spain.
Iglesia de Santa María del Conceyu is a Gothic church with three naves and three apses, featuring ribbed vaults and stellar ceiling patterns carved in stone throughout. The building displays the detailed stonework and architectural features typical of medieval religious structures.
Construction began in 1240 and extended into the 15th century, marking an era of religious expansion across the Asturian region. This extended building period reflects the growing importance of the site during the medieval period.
The church remains an active place of worship in the Camino del Norte pilgrimage route and serves as a spiritual center for the community. Local Catholics continue to gather here for regular services, keeping the building's religious purpose alive.
The building is located at Plaza Cristo Rey and opens during daily mass services, though visitors can generally access it at other times. Check local service schedules beforehand to plan your visit without interrupting worship.
The north wall contains a 14th-century tomb chapel dedicated to Juan Pariente. A 16th-century portico shields the southern facade from the elements.
