    Very pretty inside and out. We were lucky enough to be able to see the interior because it coincided with the end of mass, but they immediately kick you out and close that's why I don't give it a higher score.

    The smallest churches can be the most beautiful. I always like to visit churches and cathedrals when I travel and this one stunned me with it's beauty. Also saw a day later when we sat in a nearby cafe a marriage happening here. Definetly worth a visit.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful church next to the Albia gardens in the heart of Bilbao, it is worth stopping by and taking a look (Original) Bonita iglesia junto a los jardines de Albia en pleno centro de Bilbao, merece la pena pasarse por el lugar y echarle un vistazo

  • 5/5 Oscar Ferreira B. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Construction of the current church began in the mid-16th century, although the Anteiglesia de Abando had an earlier temple. The works were carried out in ashlar masonry and masonry in its entirety. The church is divided into three naves with five sections each and separated by classical-style columns (with Doric capitals). The roof is a ribbed vault in the Gothic style. The interior can be accessed through two covers. The first one is Gothic, with archivolts and pointed jambs. The second, the main façade, contains a lowered and little decorated arch as a support for a modern belfry from 1894. In it we will find the image of San Vicente Mártir in a niche. This temple has five golden wood altarpieces, all of them with high-quality sculptures. (Original) La actual iglesia comenzó a construirse a mediados del siglo XVI, aunque la Anteiglesia de Abando tuvo un templo anterior. Los trabajos se realizaron en sillería y mampuesto en su totalidad. La iglesia está divida en tres naves de cinco tramos cada una y separadas por columnas de estilo clásico (con capiteles dóricos). La cubierta es una bóveda de crucería al estilo gótico. Se puede acceder al interior a través de dos portadas. La primera de ellas es gótica, con arquivoltas y jambas apuntadas. La segunda, la fachada principal, contiene un arco rebajado y poco decorado como soporte de una moderna espadaña de 1894. En ella encontraremos la imagen de San Vicente Mártir en una hornacina. Este templo cuenta con cinco retablos de madera dorada, todos ellos con esculturas de gran calidad.

👍👍 The Artxanda Viewpoint is a somewhat hidden gem in Bilbao that offers spectacular views of the city and its surrounding area. On a sunny day, it won't disappoint and is worth the trip! I would highly recommend checking it out. Enjoy yourself!! :)
