Urkiola Sanctuary, Catholic sanctuary in Abadiño, Spain.
The church stands at 750 meters above sea level, marking the geographical center of the Basque Country between Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, and Alava provinces.
The current neomedieval building, completed in 1933, represents the third construction on this site, with preceding religious structures dating back to the 9th century.
The sanctuary honors Saint Anthony the Abbot and Saint Anthony of Padua through 17th-century sculptures displayed within its walls.
The sanctuary remains accessible via the Durango-Vitoria road, situated 40 kilometers from Bilbao and 30 kilometers from Vitoria.
The roof of the building divides rainwater between the Cantabrian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea due to its strategic geographical position.
