🎧 Listen to Introduction
In the 9th century, the flame of Christianity continued to burn in the small kingdom of Asturias on the Iberian Peninsula. An innovative pre-Romanesque architectural style was created here and played an important role in the development of religious architecture on the peninsula. Its highest achievements are reflected in the ancient capital of Oviedo and its surroundings, such as the Church of Santa María de Naranco, the Church of San Miguel in Lillo, the Church of Santa Cristina de la Leña, the Holy Palace and the Church of San Julian in Prados. Associated with them is the contemporary famous hydraulic engineering building La Foncalada.
