San Antolín de Bedón is a former Benedictine monastery located in the rural parish of Naves, just east of Llanes. The church, built in the 13th century, is a fine example of Asturian Romanesque architecture with a single nave, semi-circular apse, and a striking rose window. Visitors can wander the tranquil grounds, which include remnants of the cloister and a small cemetery. The site sits beside the Bedón River, surrounded by meadows and eucalyptus groves, making it a quiet spot for reflection. The monastery's history is tied to the local nobility, and its remote location enhances its medieval charm.
Don't miss
- Admire the Romanesque rose window and the carved capitals inside the church.
- Walk the short nature trail along the Bedón River behind the monastery.
- See the restored cloister arches and the ancient yew tree in the courtyard.
