Church of St Thomas of Canterbury
Highlight • Religious Site
At the end of the nineteenth century the small Romanesque temple of Sabugo, the old fishing district of Avilés, had become too small to accommodate all its parishioners. The whole city mobilized to build a new temple that would be a symbol of the progress that Avilés was then experiencing: the City Council, the local bourgeoisie, even the Avilesian emigrants in Cuba did not hesitate to contribute their money and their effort to make the project a reality.
Symphonic organ: Thanks to the contribution of individuals, companies and foundations, the church has since 2010 a symphonic organ by the builder Federico Acitores, the second largest in Asturias, after the Basilica of Covadonga.
Lignum Crucis: Since in 1953 he received, through the intercession of Bishop Lauzurica, a fragment of the relic of Lignum Crucis that is preserved in the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana (Cantabria), this has become the treasure and symbol of the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Solitude and of the Holy True Cross, who venerates the Virgin since ancient times in her invocation of Our Lady of Solitude. The wood splinter will be shown in a chestnut wood niche, the work of cabinetmaker Paco Cueva.
