Iglesia De San Julián De Los Prados, or Santullano, offers a captivating glimpse into the enduring craftsmanship of Asturian Pre-Romanesque architecture. Crafted by the architect Tioda over a millennium ago, this church is a testament to a timeless Christian tradition. Noted for its UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, this sanctuary features original 9th-century frescoes and striking geometric motifs preserved with 70% of the original polychrome intact. Dedicated to Saints Julian and Basilisa, it promises a journey through history just ten minutes from Oviedo's center. While it warmly welcomes all with its wheelchair-accessible entrance, remember that photography inside is prohibited. Open for visits until 5:30 PM, the site offers a serene retreat for just 4€.

Las explicaciones de Inés estupendas. Me ha encantado. Impresionante ejemplo de arte prerrománico.
Visita excelente, muy puntuales y con una guía, Inés, muy experimentada y seria. La iglesia es una auténtica maravilla; su explicación me recordó a mis clases de Patrimonio, cuando tratábamos la polémica de la restauración impulsada por Fortunato de Selgas a principios del siglo XX, junto con las figuras de Luis Menéndez-Pidal y Luis Rodríguez de Cueto Ferrándiz. Hoy puedo decir que es una joya imprescindible del arte asturiano (no me gusta llamarlo “prerrománico” porque parece que es solo un elemento anterior al románico y le resta entidad, como si no tuviera valor por sí mismo; por eso prefiero denominarlo “arte asturiano”). La visita es únicamente guiada y en horarios concretos, por lo que recomiendo consultar previamente el horario de apertura. Incluye un breve vídeo que muestra una recreación de cómo sería la iglesia en origen, y la guía combina con acierto el contexto histórico, el análisis técnico y artístico, así como curiosidades y detalles de la restauración.
