Church of San José in Gijón, Catholic church in Gijón, Spain.

The Church of San José in Gijón is a Catholic house of worship featuring a three-part facade crowned by a gabled roof and flanked by two domed towers. Inside, a circular dome rises above the transept and dominates the space.

The original church was designed by Nicolás García Rivero between 1889 and 1896. After its destruction in 1936, it was rebuilt between 1946 and 1954 by architect Enrique Rodríguez Bustelo.

The parish takes its name from Saint Joseph, to whom the church is dedicated. In September 1971 about three hundred pensioners, including the writer Mánfer de la Llera, locked themselves inside for nine nights to demand decent pensions; despite the clergy's support, police evicted them by force.

The church stands on Álvarez Garaya Street in central Gijón, a short walk from the Plaza del Humedal where the first San José temple stood. The main entrance faces the street beneath the three-storey central section and its pediment; the two domed towers frame it on either side. Visitors enter through the portico, then pass along the three naves toward the transept and presbytery.

On 14 August 1936, in retaliation for rebel air raids that day, prisoners held in the church were trucked to the Jove cemetery and shot. In September 1971 about three hundred pensioners, among them the writer Mánfer de la Llera, locked themselves inside for nine nights to demand decent pensions; clergy backed them, and police cleared the building by force.
