Church of San Francisco de Asís
San Francisco de Asís Church rises above the Abando streets with twin Neo-Gothic spires. Its façade and stained glass reflect Bilbao’s expansion across the estuary.
See how the church differs from the older Old Town parishes: it was built for the newer city on the opposite bank. The exterior gives a useful history stop, while any interior visit should follow the church’s current access arrangements.
What to look for
The fifth parish church has twin Neo-Gothic spires, red Ereño marble and stained glass.
Useful to know
Check the church’s current access arrangements if you want to see the stained glass inside.
