Iglesia de Las Siervas de Jesús (Church of the Servants of Jesus), Oviedo
The Church of the Servants of Jesus of Charity was designed in the neo‑Gothic style by architect Javier Aguirre in the late 19th century, featuring a restrained façade framed by pointed arches, a delicate rose window above the entrance, and a small steeple crowned with a cross and bell.
Stepping inside, visitors discover an intimate worship space that reflects the compassionate mission of the Servants of Jesus, a Catholic female religious order committed to charity and healthcare. Founded in Oviedo in 1893, the order is noted for its long-standing work in caring for the elderly and vulnerable, as well as providing social services like meal programs along the street.
Although the interior is modest in scale, it evokes quiet dignity through its detailing-lancet windows, floral motifs on the capitals, and softly painted pillars that guide the eye upward toward the vaulted ceiling.
