The Asturian Monuments, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, are a collection of pre-Romanesque architectural treasures dating back to the 9th century. These structures, including churches and royal buildings, showcase a unique blend of Visigothic, Mozarabic, and early Christian influences, reflecting the cultural richness of the period. Built during the reign of the Asturian kings, they stand as remarkable examples of early medieval engineering and artistry. Their historical significance and well-preserved condition make them a testament to Spain's ancient heritage.
