[ENG-SPN] Naranco: Stone, Power, and Silence / Naranco: Piedra, Poder y Silencio

The reasons that led one of the first kings of the Asturian monarchy to convert a residential palace, which overlooked the city of Oviedo on the slopes of Mount Naranco, into a church remain a fascinating enigma: Ramiro I.

Naturally, we are talking about one of the most charismatic buildings of Asturian pre-Romanesque art, whose unique character led to its declaration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985: Santa María del Naranco.

The fear of God, the lack of amenities as a residential space, or the need to administer justice are just some of the hypotheses that attempt to explain such a singular building. A building whose two-story floor plan also served as a model for another great landmark of sacred architecture in Asturias: the Holy Chamber of Oviedo Cathedral.

Continúan siendo un apasionante enigma los planteamientos que llevaron a uno de los primeros reyes de la monarquía asturiana a reconvertir un palacio residencial, que, en las laderas del Monte Naranco dominaba la urbe de Oviedo, en iglesia sacramentada: Ramiro I.

Naturalmente, hablamos de uno de los edificios más carismáticos del arte o prerrománico asturiano, cuya singularidad logró que fuera declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en el año 1985: Santa María del Naranco.

El temor de Dios, la falta de comodidades como espacio residencial o la necesidad de impartir justicia, son sólo algunas de las hipótesis que intentan justificar tan singular edificación. Una edificación, cuya planta de dos pisos sirvió, además, como modelo para otro gran hito de la arquitectura sagrada en Asturias: la Cámara Santa de la catedral de Oviedo.
