St. Nicolas Church

5 reviews of St. Nicolas Church

Make time

Excellent

This church is a gem hidden in plain sight. Within sight of the cathedral, the Church of San Nicolas de Bari has a marvel of a main altarpiece made in Flowered Gothic style in the C15th. It occupies the entire front wall. The detail is phenomenal. The internal buttress also adds a surprise as an unusual but delightful feature.

When visiting outside service hours, you will be presented with a free information sheet describing the church detail. It is the only free piece of printed tourist information we were able to obtain in English during our stay in Burgos and was very much appreciated.

Make time to see it; you won't be disappointed.

Surprise altarpiece

Sorprende su retablo mayor

Está a pocos metros de la Catedral de Burgos, y es de estas Iglesias que no invitan a entrar porque exteriormente no dice demasiado, a pesar de tener un pórtico bonito. En su interior el retablo mayor (en piedra, de estilo plateresco) es espectacular. Si te gusta admirar detalles tienes para un buen rato pues es de los más detallados y recargados que he visto. Recomiendo la visita con buena luz externa pues aunque a veces encienden las luces, cambia mucho con buena iluminación, un día con sol es lo ideal. Saludos.
Is a few meters from the Cathedral of Burgos, and these churches is not invited to enter because the outside does not say much, despite having a nice portico. Inside the altarpiece (stone Plateresque) is spectacular. If you like to admire details have for a long time because it is the most detailed and ornate I have seen. I recommend a visit with good external light because sometimes even turn on the lights, change much with good lighting, one day with sun is ideal. Greetings.

Situada frente a la fachada principal de la catedral, en la calle de Fernán González, destaca por su retablo plateresco en piedra, uno de los mas espectaculares que haya visto. Fue Levantada en 1408 sobre otro templo románico, también de gran interés son sus sepulcros góticos, el arco renacentista de María Saez de Oña y Fernando de Mena y las tablas de la Escuela Burgalesa del Maestro de San Nicolás.
