About
Quick facts: The church boasts one of the most intricate Baroque facades in La Rioja with detailed stone carvings depicting biblical stories. Its bell tower stands over 40 meters tall, offering panoramic views of the city for those who climb it.
Highlights: A fascinating feature is the deeply carved choir stalls inside, crafted from walnut wood and dating back to the 17th century, showcasing masterful Spanish woodworking. Another unique aspect is the annual San Bartolomé festival where locals celebrate with traditional dances and music right in the courtyard.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for climbing the bell tower stairs and walking the church grounds.
- The best photo spots are from the church courtyard facing the facade and at the top of the tower for city panoramas.
- Avoid visiting on Sunday mornings when local services make the church crowded and less accessible.
- Take a guided audio tour available in multiple languages to fully appreciate the intricate carvings and historical details.
