Iglesia de San Andrés (Bedriñana)[pronunciation?] is a church in the parish of Bedriñana, Asturias, Spain. It dates to the 9th century and was declared a national monument in 1931.[1][2]

Architecture[]

The nave was built in the tenth century. Four of the original windows above the nave survive. Significant additional expansion occurred in the 12th-13th centuries and again in the 16th. In 1916, additional improvements were made to the building for use as a school.[2]
