church of San Miguel de Lillo.

Oviedo, Spain.

The church of San Miguel de Lillo is found in Asturias, it's a pre-Romanesque church. It's a World Heritage Site. It was consecrated by Ramiro I in the year 848. It was originally dedicated to St. Mary until this worship passed to the nearby palace in the 12th century, leaving this church dedicated to Saint Michael.
It originally had a basilica ground plan, three aisles with a barrel vault, although part of the original structure has disappeared as the building fell into decay during the 12th or 13th century. Nowadays, it conserves its western half from that period, together with several elements in the rest of the church such as the fantastic jambs in the vestibule or the extraordinary lattice on the window of the southern wall, sculpted from one single piece of stone.

Une architecture inhabituelle et des pierres qui ont changé de couleurs avec le temps, c'est ce qui fait sa beauté.
