These constructions constitute the most important testimony of the historical roots of the Kingdom of Asturias, preserving from this legacy twelve temples and three civil constructions.
Among the first are santuyan (791-842), San Miguel de Llino (844-850), San Pedro Nora (XNUMXth century), Santa Maria de Bendones (XNUMXth century), Santa Cristina de Lena (circa 848), Saint Hadrian of Tuñón (consecrated in 891), San Salvador de Valdediós (consecrated in 893), San Salvador de Priesca (consecrated in 921), Santiago de Gobiendes (second half of the XNUMXth century), Santa Maria de Arbazal (XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries), San Andres de Bedriñana (XNUMXth century) and the Holy Chamber of San Salvador de Oviedo (circa 884).
Among the civil constructions are Santa Maria de Naranco (altar dedicated in 848), the so-called Old Tower of San Salvador de Oviedo (probably coeval with the Holy Chamber) and the fountain of Foncalada in Oviedo (first half of the XNUMXth century).
