It is a pre-Romanesque chamber attached to the cathedral of Oviedo designed to keep the relics and where the two symbolic crosses of Asturias are also kept

A very special site, with treasures of incalculable value, such as the Holy Shroud. Awesome.

Gothic style cathedral located in the city of Oviedo (Principality of Asturias, Spain). It is also known as “Sancta Ovetensis”, referring to the quality and quantity of the relics it contains. The Cathedral of Oviedo has been a destination for pilgrims since ancient times. The Camino de Santiago began there in the times of the pious King Alfonso II the Chaste, hence the saying: "Whoever goes to Santiago and not to the Savior, visits the servant and not the Lord."

Spectacular, totally worth the visit. From the 9th century. It is located inside the cathedral. With adult admission 7 euros including audio guide, visit to the Holy Chamber (World Heritage) and the Museum of the church. Pilgrims 4 euros only. The Camino de Santiago began in this cathedral in the time of King Alfonso II the Chaste, hence the saying: "Who goes to Santiago and not to El Salvador, visit the servant and not the Lord" It is impressive, in the Holy Chamber, to see up close the Victoria Cross (manufactured in the already demolished Gauzón Castle located in Raíces-Castrillón-Principado de Asturias), the Los Angeles Cross, the Agates box, the Holy Ark , the thorns of the crown of Jesus and the Holy Shroud among other wonders. See the Museum of the Church with jewels such as the Eucharistic set made in gold and silver filigree sent from Mexico by an Indian in the 18th century and donated by the Asturian Parish of Santa María de Colombres (Ribadedeva). The "Hydra", one of the 6 jars of the "Wedding of Canaá" where Jesus Christ turned water into wine and which came to Oviedo in the 11th century from the Holy Land to safeguard the growing Islam. See the cloister, the Main Altarpiece and the imposing Chapter House. A marvel.

Construction from the 9th century, in the Asturian Pre-Romanesque style, which is part of the Oviedo Cathedral. In it are the relics contributed during the reign of various Asturian kings: a piece of the Shroud, thorns from the crown of Jesus, soil from the house of the Virgin, the cross of the angels, that of Don Pelayo, etc. A curious visit that takes you back to the late Middle Ages. It's worth it (€6 with audioguide)
