Oviedo - Basílica del Salvador

 
From the Plaza Mayor in Oviedo, Calle la Rúa goes north to the Gothic Cathedral (the Basílica del Salvador, 1388-1498), on the site of an earlier church built by King Fruela I in the eighth century. The west front has three dissimilar doorways, with a Baroque relief of the Transfiguration on the central doorway. The 82m/269ft high tower, completed in 1539, is one of the finest in Spain. From the top there are extensive views.
