Founded in the 9th century by Alfonso II of Asturias, this cathedral is a landmark of Asturian pre-Romanesque art and a key stop on the Primitive Way of Saint James; it houses treasures such as the Holy Chamber with relics of the Shroud of Oviedo. Its Gothic reconstruction in the 13th and 14th centuries makes it a symbol of Asturian cultural identity.
