4.6

#3 of 11 in Historic Sites in Oviedo

San Julian de los Prados is a 9th-century church that is considered a great piece of Asturian art, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The architecture resembles the Roman style. There is very little original decoration remaining on the church, but look for the marble capitals at the tops of the pillars. You can also see original frescos on the walls and ceiling. The building is just next to a freeway, so it’s easy to find.

Interesting but not stunning, but worth the €2 for the tour (which is only in Spanish).

La Iglesia es preciosa, así como el entorno: en la parte de atrás hay una pradera ajardinada con árboles y bancos para descansar o tomar el sol. El interior está bastante bien conservado ( no se pueden hacer fotos ) , pero lo mejor de todo es la guía: te explica con mucho detalle y hace que la visita sea amena.

The Church is beautiful, as well as the environment: in the back there is a meadow garden with trees and benches for relaxing or sunbathing. The interior is fairly well preserved (photos cannot be), but best of all is the Guide: you explained in great detail and makes the visit enjoyable.

Una iglesia que merece la pena ver aunque no esté tan céntrica. Se puede ir andando desde el centro sin problemas dando un paseo. Además tiene zonas verdes a su alrededor que están muy bien si vas con tu amigo peludo.

Una verdadera joya prerrománica. Algo único que hay que ver, la capilla sixtina asturiana. Sus pinturas son impresionantes. Las visitas guiadas son cada 30min y muy bien explicado.
