ビルバオの教会と大聖堂

Historic Churches and Chapels

Bilbao’s religious landscape spans centuries of architectural evolution, from the 16th-century Basque Gothic of San Vicente de Abando to the Neo-Gothic detailing of the Church of the Sacred Heart. This collection includes the Baroque Church of San Nicolás, historically linked to the city's maritime community, and the Ermita de Santa Águeda, a site of traditional pilgrimage. These sites showcase diverse styles including Gothic, Baroque, and 20th-century designs across the Casco Viejo and modern Indautxu districts.
