Iglesia de Santa María
Iglesia de Santa María, Gothic church in Gernika, Spain.
The Iglesia de Santa María combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and detailed Renaissance decorative features throughout its structure.
Construction of the church began in 1660, marking a period of religious expansion in the Basque region during the Spanish monarchy's architectural development.
The church maintains its position as a central religious institution in Gernika, hosting regular Catholic services and contributing to local spiritual traditions.
Located along the Camino del Norte pilgrimage route, the church opens daily from 8 AM to 6 PM for visitors and worshippers.
The church structure survived the 1937 bombing of Gernika and received UNESCO World Heritage designation for its architectural and historical significance.
