Oviedo

Oviedo lies in a broad valley in central Asturias, where the wooded slopes of Monte Naranco rise above a compact historic centre. The city is Asturias’s administrative capital, yet its identity is closely tied to the medieval Kingdom of Asturias and its distinctive pre-Romanesque heritage. On Monte Naranco, ninth-century Santa María del Naranco preserves the bold arches and stonework associated with Asturian art; it forms part of the UNESCO-listed Monuments of Oviedo and the Kingdom of Asturias. In the centre, the Gothic Cathedral of San Salvador has long been an important stop for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, including the Camino Primitivo.
