Asturian churches

Asturian churches, primarily found in the Asturias region of northern Spain, are notable for their unique pre-Romanesque architecture, dating from the 8th to the 10th centuries. They reflect a blend of Visigothic and early medieval styles, characterized by simple structures, rounded arches, and distinctive bell towers. Significant examples include the Church of San Miguel de Lillo and Santa María del Naranco. These churches were often built as royal monuments and religious sites, showcasing the region's early Christian heritage and artistic expression during a period of political consolidation after the fall of the Visigothic kingdom.
