Church of which an Asturian pre-Romanesque part remains. It's not the most interesting. It is still a popular church far from the court of the Asturian monarchy. Tickets can be purchased at a very close center on the Sueve where you can also park. The guide makes a brief and not very deep explanation, suitable for laymen, although a little scarce for those who have more experienced knowledge. The strange thing is that the opening hours are at 2:00 p.m. An ungodly hour that splits the day in two.

They open at 2:00 p.m. and according to the guy who is at the Sueve interpretation center, 50 m away. You have to organize the trip through Asturias to be able to be at that time. They must be very busy and cannot open or have the church open as they do in France or in other European countries. Is this how we want to promote domestic tourism? The same thing has happened to us in most of the churches in Asturias, although they did not have a tourism center next door.?

In the vicinity of the church there is an epigraph that explains its history: "The church of Gobiandes belongs to the select cast of monuments of Asturian pre-Romanesque art, in an early medieval style of architecture with splendidly preserved elements and closely linked to the origin of the Kingdom of Asturias. It has a basilica plan with three naves divided into four sections and covered with wood; the naves are separated by square pillars with imposts that support semicircular arches made of brick. The head is straight with three vaulted chapels with barrels, of which the central one has disappeared, which preserves fragments of the arches that ran along its walls (the current one, of excessive proportions, is the product of a remodeling). The columns of the headboards are decorated with capitals with Asturian motifs: ropes and acanthus leaves. Its original pre-Romanesque structure currently presents greatly modified both its external appearance and the interior vision of its head. In the 19th century a rebuilding of the church was carried out, the product of which are the main chapel, the sacristy of the south wall, the body of the belfry and the portico that surrounds the eastern and southern facades. From the pre-Romanesque period, the mullioned window of the south wall is preserved, on which the rebuilding date, several capitals and remains of the other window were inscribed. It was restored between 1985 and 1987 by the Government of the Principality of Asturias. It was declared a National Monument on June 3, 1991. "
