Basilica de Santa María

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:39:37

Portugalete's impressive basilica (1580) stands atop an earlier 14th-century church that originally marked the town's highest point. A striking structure, it's largely Gothic with flying buttresses and austere sandstone walls; the bell tower was a later 18th-century addition. Inside, the carved wood altarpiece is a highlight.
