The Basilica of St. John the Baptist, also known as San Juan el Real, is a Catholic parish church in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain. Designed by Luis Bellido y González in an eclectic Romanesque Revival style, it was begun in 1912 on the site of an earlier church demolished in 1882. The Latin cross plan includes side chapels and a dome. In November 2014 the Pope elevated it to minor basilica status.
