Church of St Thomas of Canterbury

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral image of the Church of St. Thomas of Canterbury evokes the desires of modernity, urban expansion and demographic increase that the old fishing village lived at the end of the nineteenth century, crowning the bourgeois expansion of the new city.

At the end of the nineteenth century the small Romanesque temple of Sabugo, the old fishing district of Avilés, had become too small to accommodate all its parishioners. The whole city mobilized to build a new temple that would be a symbol of the progress that Avilés was then experiencing: the City Council, the local bourgeoisie, even the Avilesian emigrants in Cuba did not hesitate to contribute their money and their effort to make the project a reality.
Symphonic organ: Thanks to the contribution of individuals, companies and foundations, the church has since 2010 a symphonic organ by the builder Federico Acitores, the second largest in Asturias, after the Basilica of Covadonga.

Lignum Crucis: Since in 1953 he received, through the intercession of Bishop Lauzurica, a fragment of the relic of Lignum Crucis that is preserved in the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana (Cantabria), this has become the treasure and symbol of the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Solitude and of the Holy True Cross, who venerates the Virgin since ancient times in her invocation of Our Lady of Solitude. The wood splinter will be shown in a chestnut wood niche, the work of cabinetmaker Paco Cueva.

Niemeyer Center 🖼️ Avilés

Highlight • Monument

A cultural complex designed by the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and inaugurated in 2011. It consists of several cone-shaped buildings and a large central square. Inside there is a concert hall, a theater, several exhibition halls, a cinema and a library. The design of the Center is very characteristic with its organic curves that Oscar Niemeyer used in many of his other projects. In addition, it has several murals and sculptures designed by Niemeyer himself.

La Grapona Bicycle Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Safely crossing the prohibitively wide industrial train tracks on this bridge with comfortable ramps gives direct access from town to the excellent bike trail along the river, and if Cato the post-modern Niemeyer Center in the other side.

Church of San Martín de Laspra

Highlight • Religious Site

The first known references to this church are mentioned in the will of King Alfonso III. In the early years it was known as San Martín de Cellio. The current building consists of one nave with a groin vault and stone ribs. It has two chapels on each side and a spacious choir with a simple cross vault. In 1787 a square tower was added, topped with an octagonal dome and an iron ball and cross. The main altar of this church, which was built at the end of the 18th century in a transitional style between Baroque and Classicism, is dedicated to the patron saint of the church: San Martín. On the north-west side is a small bifora window, carved into a block of stone and dated between the 9th and 11th centuries, during the development of Asturian art. It is worth noting that the site may be on top of an earlier temple, possibly from Roman times, as confirmed by the discovery of an interesting altar in the interior, probably dedicated to the Mithraic cult.
