San Andrés de Ceares

The only Romanesque temple that is located in the urban area of Gijón/Xixón.
It stands on the left of the road that leads to Pola de Siero, right at the top of Ceares. It is a very refurbished building, although it retains its primitive Romanesque structure as a single nave and semicircular chevet, preceded by a straight section. It has a very simple doorway, with no other decoration than plain mouldings. In the apse there is a window under an archivolt decorated in zigzag and supported by two columns with capitals carved with animal themes.
Inside, the triumphal arch, slightly pointed, rests only on capitals, since the shafts of the columns have disappeared. They are decorated with plant motifs and hunting scenes.
