Nestled in the alleys of the Old Town, not easily found unless you look up for the spires ( or use Google maps 😁). A plain stone church with a modest inside - personally I find more fitting for the religion than the ornate and ostentatious alters we have seen in many other churches around Europe.

Neoclassical style Church dates back to 1811 although on a site used for religious purposes for several hundred years. Interior is pretty including the sculpture Christ the Victory, Vigo's most important religious emblem.

Not much to look at from outside but lovely inside quite and peaceful... Not happy some Spanish woman told my very ill uncle to shut up and shook some beads at him, throat cancer so he can't talk proper and can't eat or drink bless him, but she went as soon as she came. But still glad we visted

Lovely "concatedral", bigger than a church which homes "Cristo de la Victoria", patron of the city and which appeared on the beach found by the local fishermen many years back. Beautiful inside with great art work and in the heart of the old city.

This simply dressed cathedral is very calming. All of the walls and even the ceilings around the alter have some individual stories and on closer inspection are done in mosaic. The detail is actually stunning. Yea liked this cathedral.

Nice on the inside, but Spain has so many beautiful Cathedrals that it rates a 3 of 5 on my scale from a visual opulence point of view only (I.e. no historical importance added to this rating).
