Cathedral Of San SalvadorCathedral of the city of Oviedo. Its construction began in 1377-1389 by order of King Alfonso II The Chaste. The present day construction sits on the primitive IX century basilica. Its gothic nobility hides elements of many poques: - Gothic: it has three naves, the transept and the Gothic tower finished in the XVI century. It also has the cloister, the chapter room with its choral seating (it was the old assembly room of the General Council), and the door of the Chaste Kings Chapel. The XVI century altarpiece depicts scenes from the Asturian Kings.
- Renaissance and Baroque: in the ambulatory and the side chapels. Especially in the Baroque chapel of the Chaste King (XVIII century), pantheon of the Asturian Kings.
