A pre-Romanesque architectural monument, lying on the slopes of mount Naranco and comprising of one of Oviedo's and Asturias' most precious buildings and declared a World heritage site by UNESCO. King Ramiro I ordered the building work in 848 and used it as a Royal palace; subsequently it was to become a church. The base of the edifice is rectangular with two floors, both with a central section and two shorter side sections.
