Journal History

The Art History journal Liño  was first published in 1980, under the direction of Professor Carlos Cid Priego, initially promoted and financed by the professors attached to the Department of Art History of the University of Oviedo, with the aim of channelling the research carried out within it. In its first publishing phase, it had financial support from the Official College of Quantity Surveyors and Technical Architects of Asturias, which took over three monographic issues dedicated to the Inventory of Historical and Monumental Interest in Asturias. The fact that the journal was published by the University of Oviedo Publications Service from issue 7 made its continuity and annual frequency possible until 1991.

In 2005, its second editorial phase began, with the aim of promoting the disseminating the results of the scientific achievements in the field of Art History, with the support of the Asturias Official College of Architects and the University of Oviedo Publications Service.
