San Miguel de Lillo: A Historical Gem

San Miguel de Lillo, built in 842 CE, stands as a remarkable representation of Asturian pre-Romanesque architecture.

Consecrated by Ramiro I of Asturias, this church was initially dedicated to St. Mary, later shifted to Saint Michael. Originally three times larger, its structure faced significant collapse in the 12th and 13th centuries, with only parts of its vestibule and triple nave remaining intact. The exquisite stone latticework on the windows showcases remarkable craftsmanship.
