Iglesia de San Nicolás
San Nicolás is worth a focused look for its Greek-cross plan, dome and rococo sculpture. Check church access before planning to see those interior details.
The church's plan and dome create a different spatial experience from the long naves of Bilbao's Gothic churches. Its rococo sculpture adds a more decorative layer to that geometry. If the doors are open, look upward first to understand the plan before examining the sculptural details.
What to look for
A Greek-cross plan is organized beneath the dome.
Rococo sculpture brings decorative detail to the interior.
Useful to know
Check current visiting arrangements before making the interior a fixed stop.
