Today in Oviedo

Let’s see where we are

Oviedo Oviedo is the capital city of the

Principality of Asturias.

It dates back to the early Middle Ages

(eighth century).

It is the commercial, religious,

administrative and university center of

the region.

The town of Oviedo is the second

most populated in the region with

225,391 inhabitants.

Uviéu or Uvieo, is the name given to the city in Asturias. The name in Castilian,

"Oviedo", is the official and most widespread.

There is still no clear etymological origin of Oviedo and no theory is fully

accepted:

● Celtic origin.

● Medieval Latin Urbs Vetus, meaning "old town".

● Ovis-etum suffix, meaning "place abundant in sheep”.

● Iovetano Iove adjective (meaning Jupiter, so the place could have been a

place of worship of Jupiter).
