Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Begoña, Catholic church in Gijón, Spain

The church stands at the intersection of Begoña promenade and Costa avenue, featuring brown brick walls and colored glass windows.

The first chapel was destroyed during the Independence War, with military installations later occupying the original location on elevated ground.

Basque sailors initiated the devotion to the Virgin of Begoña in Gijón during the 17th century after surviving a storm at sea.

The Discalced Carmelite Fathers manage the church, which belongs to the Archdiocese of Oviedo and offers multiple weekly services.

Miguel Díaz Negrete designed this modern structure in 1978 with minimal decorative elements except for a Virgin of Begoña representation.
