Cathedral of San Salvador

Pause in Plaza de Alfonso II el Casto and let your eyes follow the tower upwards. The cathedral displays the strength of Gothic architecture, but this place preserves an earlier history. Its Holy Chamber houses important objects from the Asturian kingdom, including the Cross of the Angels and the Victory Cross. They are religious objects and enduring symbols of Asturias. Outside, enjoy the façade and consider how the cathedral organises the old town around it. If you enter, allow separate time for the cloister and collections. Check admission arrangements beforehand and respect religious services and worshippers.
