Chapels of the Monsacro

Monument · Morcín, Oviedo, Asturias

On the vega de les Capilles, at around 845 metres on the Monsacro, stand the rectangular hermitage of La Magdalena and that of Santiago, of unusual octagonal plan and 13th-century fabric. Tradition places the Arca Santa here before it went down to Oviedo.
