Oviedo

Churches and Museum

Oviedo is a pretty good sized city. Streets are only 2 lanes wide with lots of one way streets. There are a few bike riders - mostly in kits riding fast with the traffic. They do have city busses.

Washed our clothes in the morning. Their machines add soap and softener.

Walked to San Julian. This church dates back to about 1000.

There are three arches across the front of the church. This one is in the center.

Elongated Christ figure.

The whole chapel was once filled with murals. A CAD design video showed a rendering the wall murals fully colored in.
