==Arts and culture== ===Historic downtown=== Most of the buildings in the downtown historic area were constructed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The [[Nelson and Company Historic District]], the [[R.W. Estes Celery Company Precooler Historic District]], the [[First Methodist Church of Oviedo]], and several houses in Oviedo are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/listings/20010928.htm |title=NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Listings September 28, 2001 |publisher=Department of Interior |date=2001-09-28 |access-date=2015-10-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/listings/20070727.HTM |title=NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Listings July 27, 2007 |publisher=Department of Interior |date=2007-07-27 |access-date=2015-10-15}}</ref> The nearby [[Oviedo Mall]] featured murals of historic areas along with pictures of early European and African-American settlers in the area until renovations in 2022. [[Florida State Road 434|State Road 434]], which cuts through downtown Oviedo, is currently being widened and several buildings have been demolished. The Oviedo Preservation Project<ref>{{cite web|url=http://oviedotraditions.org|title=The Oviedo Preservation Project}}</ref> has been tasked with photographing and documenting the buildings for posterity. An African-American Oviedo pioneer named Mathew Powell established the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in April 1875. ===New developments=== In 2015, the city of Oviedo dedicated a brand new downtown development just south of the current "old downtown" along Oviedo Boulevard. The new town center, named "Oviedo on the Park", is a mixed use development with townhouses, apartment homes, restaurants, and retail. It is centered around the new Center Lake Park with a man-made lake, large amphitheater, playground and veterans tribute. The [[Oviedo Mall]] is a single-story indoor mall with a movie theater built in 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seminolechronicle.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2014/02/26/530e11de0ae21 |title=Oviedo to get BJ's Brewhouse |publisher=Seminolechronicle.com |date=2014-02-26 |access-date=2014-03-25}}</ref> ===Attractions=== The "Oviedo Lights" is a local roadside attraction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://weirdus.com/states/florida/unexplained_phenomena/oviedo_lights/index.php |title=The Oviedo Lights |publisher= Weirdus.com |access-date=2015-10-25}}</ref> "The Rising"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://run.OviedoTraditions.org|title=The Rising Run 5K β An Oviedo Tradition β It's a 5K.
