SANTA CRISTINA DE LENA

With Santa Maria del Naranco and san Miguel de Lillo, this is the third church attributed to the architect of Ramiro I.
Located about 40 Kilometers from Oviedo, it is known more commonly as the church of the corners, due to its many angles.
The design of the different latticed windows denotes a certain Oriental influence which leads us to believe that Mozarab artist were involved in the construction of this church.
