The 5 Best Museums in Oviedo, Asturias

March 25, 2022 Marlin Saiz

Oviedo is a treasure trove of Spanish religious architecture, dotted with monasteries, cathedrals and shrines that date all the way back to the 9th century. Soak up the rich history of the city by experiencing El Fontán Market, the San Isidoro el Real Church and the Castle of San Juan de Priorio, then shift aesthetic gears and check out modern architectural gems like the Prince Felipe Auditorium and the Jirafa building.

Centro De Interpretacion Del Horreo

It is located in Guenu/Bueno, only 5 minutes away from Oviedo. It is the perfect setting for knowing the magic world of the Asturian 'horreo' (corncrib): its origin, evolution, types, the secret of its longevity and functionality... The expository discourse is rigorous but also enjoyable and didactic, with special attention to the children. After visiting the centre, it is offered guided tours to Bueno, in order to know and understand in place the valuable legacy of its ethnographic patrimony.

Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias

Reviewed By Brimble - Lagos, Portugal

I'm very pleased to say that, contrary to usual Spanish expectations, the museum was actually open for a few hours on a Sunday. And very pleased we were... First things first, it's free. But we wouldn't have minded paying for such a treat. The informative layout, with both English and Spanish notes, is welcoming, interesting and a work of genuine passion The collection is varied, with many local artists well represented, alongside a couple of 'cameo' pieces from Picasso, Miro, Gargallo, Braque, etc. No crowds, so a leisurely stroll through the three levels, each representing different styles and periods. This was a real privilege, for which we are grateful. Not to be missed.
