Known as “Samiguel de Lliño” in the local dialect, Iglesia San Miguel de Lillo was built in the mid-800s. This historic church, which is a UNESCO world heritage site due to its pre-Romanesque architecture & history, can be visited in conjunction with guided tours of the neighboring church / palace Iglesia Santa Maria del Naranco (€4 entrance fee for guided tour of both churches that lasts 30 to 45 minutes). It is a small church that has intricate carvings similar to the ones at the neighboring church and also has remains of a mural that depict shapes and humans. Photography is not permitted inside the church and carrying bags / backpacks (anything that can accidentally touch the walls) is discouraged. The walk from Iglesia Santa Maria del Naranco is less than five minutes; the walk from the center of Oviedo is approximately an hour - there are nice views of the city if you walk up though it is...

Originally a much larger church, part of it collapsed due to a landslide in the 12th century. The remaining sections of the structure were preserved, with some of the fallen parts reattached. Like Santa María del Naranco, it was built around 848 AD and originally served as a royal chapel for King Ramiro I. The building follows the Asturian Pre-Romanesque style, featuring notable reliefs and carvings on the stone doorframes and walls. Inside, there are Byzantine-style murals and decorations. Photography is not allowed inside. Since access to the interior is only possible through a guided tour, so it is advisable to queue in front of Santa María del Naranco first, and visit this church afterward at the appropriate time. Keep in mind that the guide speaks...

Sencillamente, impresionante. Forma parte imprescindible del legado del arte prerrománico asturiano. ¿Alguien puede sentir indiferencia al toparse con esta iglesia? Personalmente creo que es imposible.

Situada a unos trescientos metros de Santa María del Naranco, esta joya del prerrománico dedicada a San Miguel Arcángel conserva al menos un tercio del edificio primitivo. Durante la Baja Edad Media, parte de la iglesia que mandó levantar el rey Ramiro I se derrumbó y hubo de reconstruirse. Sin embargo, se mantiene en pie el pórtico original y uno de los tramos de la nave principal. Es Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde 1985 y la decoración de capiteles y medallones vincula la autoría de San Miguel de Lillo con Santa María del Naranco.

El edificio que hoy contemplamos corresponde a un tercio aproximadamente de la edificación primitiva. Durante la baja Edad Media, la iglesia se derrumbó en parte, reconstruyéndose entonces la cabecera actual. Hoy está en pie el primitivo pórtico y uno de los tramos de la nave original.

Exteriormente los muros son recorridos por contrafuertes y en ellos se abren huecos que se adornan con celosías de piedra completamente trabajadas. De la totalidad de celosías del monumento, se conservan cuatro originales.

El interior está dividido en tres naves, que se separan por vez primera por medio de altas columnas en lugar de pilares. Las columnas apoyan sobre bases decoradas con los símbolos de los evangelistas. Los grandes capiteles donde apoyan las arquerías están decorados por motivos de origen bizantino y norteafricano.

A los pies de la nave, sobre el antiguo pórtico se sitúa una tribuna. A ella se accede por un hueco decorado por pilastras de mármol, subiendo unas estrechas escalerillas de piedra.

En la tribuna hay cuatro arquillos, que corresponden a otras tantas puertas, decorados con motivos de tradición visigoda.

Todo el interior está abovedado y sobre la parte de la bóveda que cubre la tribuna hay un compartimento inaccesible, iluminado exteriormente por una celosía circular, que proporciona una gran esbeltez...
