The most beautiful religious buildings Spain

Near the Sainte-Marie Basilica, you will discover the ensemble, humble and magic, a Dominican convent founded in 1368. In Renaissance style with Gothic and baroque elements, it is surrounded by various attractions of the street: this is an old tripartite porch, there a mosaic of the 20th century and a wooden door massif with starred steel patterns... A small concentration of regional crafts attractions of the grand masters. Next to the monastery the oldest building of Lekeitio is: the Torrezar tower, which was part of the old city wall, thick of almost 2 metres away.

It is said that in 1600 appeared on the coast of Santurtzi, on the reefs of Lallana, an image of the Virgin, who attributed many miracles accordingly. After all, the villagers decided not to more venerate sainte Eulalie and abandoned it in favour of the Virgin of the sea, to whom they dedicated this temple.

The Hermitage of the Vierge de la Peña de Faido is the oldest sanctuary in the Basque Country. Built in a cave in the th century, the church gradually enlarged to three floors. It also enriched itself with various additions, including outside buildings of Romanesque style. It will see a magnificent th century altarpiece carved in stone and murals that enhance the beauty and strangeness of the site.

In the heart of Habsburg Madrid, the small Baroque church of San Miguel, built between 1739 and 1745, is one of the most emblematic in the country. In large part due to the originality of its convex façade in the shape of a Latin cross, unique in Madrid. It is indeed the only solution found by its architect, Santiago Bonavia (although the construction was completed by Virgilio Rabaglio), to adapt to the narrowness of the land on Calle San Justo.
