Church of San Nicolás de Bari

Very close to the cathedral, San Nicolás invites you to pause before heritage on another scale. Its stone altarpiece turns sculpture into a narrative of scenes, figures and details deserving time. Do not try to identify everything immediately: choose one area, observe the arrangement of characters and notice how the material seems to change as you approach. Proximity to the great cathedral can make this church easy to overlook, so give it a pause of its own. Interior viewing depends on opening and worship; check conditions before relying on admission. Outside, appreciate its relationship with the street and continue through the centre without rushing.
