Oviedo - Archeological Museum

(Local Name: Museo Arqueológico) Behind the Oviedo Cathedral, in the cloister of the old Convento de San Vicente (founded in the eighth century and rebuilt in the 15th), is the Archeological Museum. The ground floor is devoted to pre-Romanesque and Romanesque art, mainly from Asturias, including the altar-stone of Santa María de Naranco; on the first floor are Roman coins, sculpture, mosaics and other relics of the period of Roman rule in Iberia; and the second floor displays Stone Age material from the surrounding area.
