Pelayo won a great victory in Covadonga, taking advantage of tactics and terrain to save his kingdom from conquest. As a result, shrines were built and later a massive church.
You can see how the church stands upon an outcropping in the valley. Here’s the statue of Pelayo:
And check out the mountain in the background. The scenery in this part of Spain is nothing short of stunning. Here’s another perspective on the church.
I’ll have another post soon that shows the tiny chapel built into a hillside cave. Check back frequently.
