Wonderful Basilica, I went to the Rosary and then to the mass of 7 on Sunday. Mass of the past, with an altar boy, songs of those of a lifetime. Nice and pretty. Ideal environment, both inside (it has a lot of different images and carvings), and the outside, old, with its tower, its bell tower that rings bells very often, its square... worth visiting

It is one of the few examples of Gothic in Asturias. Its construction was commissioned by the city of Llanes, which began in 1240 and lasted until the 14th-15th centuries. Declared as a basilica on April 25, 1973. The temple is built on a basilica plan with three naves and three apses and is covered with a ribbed and stellar vault. On the north wall there is the tomb chapel of Juan Pariente or de la Trinidad, founded in the 14th century. The church has two strongly flared Romanesque facades, a belfry and a 16th-century portico protecting the facade from the south.

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
