Tourist Attractions & Monuments en Espagne - Galice/Asturies/Cantabrie

Considered the last high example of Romanesque art in the west, it dates from the 13th century. The narthex (north doorway) was sculpted at that time on the model of the portico of Glory - enough to fill compostellan nostalgic style. The bright polychrome covering the apostles dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. The interior, marked by the Baroque architecture, has a beautiful Gothic retable. Also watch, behind the choir, amazing sculpted wooden crucifix, where a romanesque Christ is sacred, like a medieval king.

The museum contains a collection of sacred art, in the unfinished cloister of the cathérale, known as the Confined Nova. You can discover here including the box reliquary of San Martin (18th century) or the treasure of San Rosendo.

Documentation, mock-up of the hiking areas, audiovisual room, this reception centre has a mass of information on the national park. More complete than the office of Cangas de Onis, it is a real museum on the Peaks of Europe. He is named according to Pedro Pidal, marquis de Odón, who, in 1916, invented the concept of a national park as a protected space and is the origin of Spain's first national park, the Covadonga mountain national park.
