This church (Santa Maria del Naranco) is situated about halfway up Mount Naranco (2,080 ft) which is the ‘hill’ that protects Oviedo, the capital, from the north. It was built by King Ramiro I of Asturias as a country palace, probably for hunting, and was completed in 842 AD but was converted into a church during the 12th century. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. In the first two pictures you can see the altar in the space behind the two columns and the last photo shows more detail. This part of the church has been inaccessible for many years – but this last photo was taken in 1972 (probably with a Werra 1) – before the prohibition. I also had the privilege of attending a wedding there. My flatmate at the time, an American, (at that time I was living in Oviedo) married a girl who lived about a kilometer further down and, as it was her parish, after getting special permission she was allowed to use the church for the ceremony. Memorable.
