"Pre-Romanesque Splendor"
This fine example of Pre-Romanesque Asturian architecture is located on the slopes of Monte Naranco, the hill that dominates the city. King Ramiro I had it built as a palace in the mid-9th century. It's a rectangular, two-story building. The ground floor has a large vaulted room with two beautifully enclosed balconies at one end and a crypt. There's a door in the eastern wall leading to a room which is partly underground and thought to have been the royal bathroom. The upper story is light and spacious, with a barrel-vaulted ceiling supported by arches. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. It's of great historical interest and there are guided visits every 30 minutes, ending at San Miguel de Lillo.
