Asturian pre-Romanesque in its purest form! One of the most important manifestations of this art. The Church of San Tirso El Real was founded in the 9th century, although it underwent successive renovations in the 12th, 16th, 18th and 20th centuries. Of its old pre-Romanesque factory, only the upper part of the front wall remains, made of ashlar, with medallions at the ends of its eaves and a gable roof. It has a mullioned window with three openings formed by three semicircular brick arches on four small marble columns with Roman-type capitals, framed by an alfiz formed by a molding. On each side of the upper part of it, two stones protrude with a hole in the center. They probably served as hinges for the doors that closed the window. The church consists of three naves separated by square section pillars on which semicircular and pointed arches support. The central nave is covered with a ribbed groin vault and a barrel vault with lunettes on the sides. The side chapel of the Gospel, with a cross vault, is from the end of the 16th century and that of the Epistle, from the 18th century.

Next to the cathedral, nothing notable since it was closed and we couldn't visit it inside.

Unusual church with a single spire, fascinating for its particularity, even if, wandering through the streets of Oviedo, it is not the only one ....

The Church of San Tirso el Real is a church and parish located in the Plaza de la Catedral of Oviedo, a few meters from the Santa Iglesia Catedral del Salvador. The church was founded by King Alfonso II the Chaste of Asturias in the 9th century. Logically, it has undergone numerous modifications throughout its more than 1,100 years of age. It was completely transformed at the end of the 12th century, which is why the Romanesque style predominates, and in the 14th century, when a large part of the temple was rebuilt. Furthermore, the church was destroyed by fire in 1521. The last modification occurred during the 20th century. Of the primitive church, only the head wall remains, the upper part being visible. From the outside, the tower also stands out, which is better seen from the back, as you come down Santa Ana Street towards the Plaza de Alfonso II El Casto. The original layout of the temple is completely unknown and we can only imagine that it had the classic division into three naves, with a tripartite head typical of Asturian churches of the time.
