Asturian Art

Asturian art refers to the artistic expressions that emerged in the Asturias region of northern Spain, particularly during the medieval period. It is best known for its unique Romanesque architecture, exemplified by the Asturian churches like Santa María del Naranco and San Julián de los Prados. These structures feature distinctive geometric forms and intricate decorative elements. Asturian art also includes beautiful goldsmithing and illuminated manuscripts. Influenced by both local traditions and broader European movements, it represents a significant cultural heritage that blends spirituality and craftsmanship, reflecting the identity and history of the Asturian people.
