Santa Maria del Naranco

Reviewed By VadimM67 - Murmansk, Russia

Santa Maria del Naranco was included as part of the monuments of Oviedo in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1985. Only Cordoba, Granada, Barcelona's Gaudi, Escorial and Burgos were included a year earlier. All the other almost 40 monuments are later or much later. It's hard to understand without being Spanish. Asturias is the core, the starting point of Spain. Everything else, as the asturians proudly say, is just an increment of territory. Santa Maria del Naranco doesn't look like a Church. It was actually built originally as the state hall of a country Royal Palace for Ramiro I in 842. The forest for hunting was here at that time. The Church turned out to be elegant because of the open loggias and external stairs. Its fragility is given by its location on the meadow. The Church is located outside the city limits. You can get here by bus number 2, but I walked from the IBIS hotel in the morning. I didn't get inside, everything was closed, but judging by the photo, the exterior is better than the interior.

Parroquia de San Isidoro El Real

Reviewed By telebiedronka - Central Poland, Poland

I must admit that my impression of this place has been shaped not only but what I've seen but also by the live concert of organs music which made the visit to this church so memorable. The church itself has great interior with impressive altars that are also nicely described in English (a rare thing in Asturias). A great place for photographers too: interesting light on details, deep colours, shady spots. I preferred this church more than the cathedral.
