Very interesting Middle Age bulding that is very well preserved. Don't miss going up to the top of the tower, if possible, in order to have a stunning view of Oviedo and its surroundings More

The Cathedral of San Salvador is a beautiful Catholic Cathedral. The main altar is exquisite as are the artwork and sculptures throughout the rest of the chapels along the perimeter. Spend some time in the plaza outside to admire the structure and incorporated details; you may get to see Asturian bagpipers, drummers and dancers performing in the square as well. More
