Church of San Pedro de Nora

Monument · Las Regueras, Oviedo, Asturias

The church of San Pedro de Nora, in the concejo of Las Regueras, stands by the Nora river, twelve kilometres from Oviedo towards Trubia. Built in the 9th century under the reign of Alfonso II the Chaste and attributed to the master builder Tioda, it is one of the temples of the first period of Asturian pre-Romanesque; it was declared a national monument in 1931 and in 1985 was included, together with the monuments of the Kingdom of Asturias, on Unesco's World Heritage list. With a basilical plan of three naves separated by round arches on pillars and a triple flat-ended apse, it suffered a fire during the Civil War of 1936 and was rebuilt between 1952 and 1964 by the architect Luis Menéndez Pidal, who added the bell tower.
