Iglesia de San Francisco de Asís, Catholic church in Plaza del Fresno, Oviedo, Spain.
The church displays a cylindrical structure with two concentric circles, where the interior cylinder stands taller than the exterior one, covered in gray granite.
Architect Luis Prieto Bances designed this religious building in 1961, and Carmen Polo with Archbishop Vicente Enrique y Tarancón inaugurated it in 1964.
Large stained glass windows throughout the structure depict scenes from both Old and New Testaments, along with moments from Saint Francis of Assisi's life.
The church contains a 1,098-pipe organ installed in 2000, measuring over three meters tall and weighing approximately 2,000 kilograms.
The granite used in construction was a gift from Galician people, commemorating the entry of Galician Columns into Asturian capital during Spanish Civil War.
