Collegiate Church and Palace of Revillagigedo

The palace, located opposite the marina of Gijón/Xixón and next to the statue of Don Pelayo, is an 18th century construction, although one of its two towers dates back to the 15th century.

The construction we can see today was probably designed by the architect Francisco Menéndez Camino, who reformed the original tower and erected the rest of the building.

Externally, the two towers, which are higher than the central body, have a square section topped with battlements and decorated with historicist-style openings.

The building's decorative richness is concentrated on the central body. It is divided into three floors and five streets, the central one being slightly wider. The ground floor has decorated arcades flanked by columns, the first floor has five balconies and the second floor has five windows.

The streets of the upper floors are lined with pilasters, except for the central one, which is lined with columns. Above the central balcony there is a large panel that supports the coat of arms of the Ramírez Jove family.

The entire upper part of the central body is finished off with a stone railing with pinnacles.

Attached to the palace is the Collegiate Church of San Juan Bautista, designed in 1720 by Pedro Muñiz Somonte.
