San Nicolás de Bari, Burgos

Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari

Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari is a Catholic church on Calle de Fernán González in Burgos, Spain, located next to the Camino de Santiago, in front of the cathedral. Since the Church of San Esteban was turned into a museum, it has served as the seat of the parish of San Esteban. The church was built in 1408, replacing another Romanesque temple.[1] It contains notable examples of fifteenth century Castilian Renaissance art by Simón de Colonia and his son Francisco. Also of great interest are the Gothic tombs, and the Renaissance arc by María Sáez de Oña and Fernando de Mena.[2] The church became a Bien de Interés Cultural listed building on 26 January 1917.
