Heritage towns in Asturias

An Asturian port city whose medieval old town — royal charter, Romanesque churches, baroque palaces and all — earned protected status in 1955, and whose waterfront now anchors a striking cultural centre designed by Oscar Niemeyer.

A coastal Asturian town with medieval walls, a ruined ducal palace, and a harbour history that once sent its ships to the ports of Andalusia, Portugal, Flanders, and England.

A market town in the green hills of Asturias, sitting below a medieval castle on a Camino route that winds through the valleys west of Oviedo.

A compact fishing port on the Asturian coast whose amphitheatre of stacked houses rises steeply above a working harbour, backed by medieval churches, a Gothic port fortress, and one of Spain's most surprising private art collections.
