San Esteban (Piantón)

The old monastery of San Esteban de Piantón is mentioned among several donations made to the Church of Oviedo/Uviéu in 1079, although there are no remains of the original building.

The present church was built between the 16th and 18th centuries, and the oldest part of it seems to be the sacristy (1604). The most notable feature of the church is the varied collection of Baroque altarpieces it houses, two of which date from the first half of the 18th century: the Virgin of Lourdes (1624) and Saint Joseph with the Child (1638). The three remaining altarpieces are from the 18th century.
