The church of Santa María de Celón, in the municipality of Allande, is a Romanesque church from the early 13th century, with a single rectangular nave and a vaulted apse. It holds in its chancel important 16th-century wall paintings of the Passion of Christ and the Coronation of the Virgin, the work of an anonymous master known as the master of Celón. Both the church and its surroundings are protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural de Asturias (Spain's highest level of heritage protection).
