Asturian Pre-Romanesque Interpretation Center (Oviedo)
One of the most attractive and interesting museum institutions in Oviedo is undoubtedly the Asturian Pre-Romanesque Interpretation Centre, which exhibits the interesting history of that historical period through maps, interpretive panels, photographs and events.
In addition to allowing visitors to take an interactive journey through its historical stages, the centre offers a walk through all the monuments built by the Asturian monarchy.
