The Collegiate Church of Covadonga is located in a square around the Basilica of Covadonga. The Collegiate Church of San Fernando occupies the left side of the square, while the front and right side are contemporary constructions.
The Collegiate Church of San Fernando dates back to the 17th century, although it has been remodelled. It has a rectangular floor plan, divided into two floors, around an interior courtyard. It has a tower at one end and a chapel on the side next to the cave.
The materials used are masonry for the walls and ashlar masonry for the corners, impost lines, highlighting of openings, etc. The roof has a gabled roof on the central body and a five-pitched roof on the tower.
On the main façade there is a door with a straight moulded arch, flanked by two stone pilasters that extend to the top of the building. Above the doorway is a balcony crowned by a pediment with a coat of arms.
The doorway leads to the inner courtyard. The ground floor of the cloister has semicircular arches on a square pillar. The upper floor is supported by straight wooden feet and a railing. Two tombs of difficult dating are preserved in the courtyard.
The tower, with a square section, has a very austere façade, interrupted only by lines of imposts and openings in the walls.
