Church of San Antón

The Church of San Antón stands beside the Nervión estuary, in the Casco Viejo, very close to the Ribera Market. Its structure is Gothic, with three naves covered by rib vaults, although over the centuries it has gained a Renaissance portal with Corinthian columns and a Baroque bell tower topped by a weathervane. Inside, behind the high altar, you can see the foundations of the old medieval wall and of an earlier church. It has three chapels, among them the Chapel of the Pietà, with a Renaissance grille from 1538, and the main altarpiece combines contemporary paintings by Ignacio García Ergüin with 16th- and 17th-century sculptures. It also has a French Romantic organ from 1901 and, beneath the choir, figures of Saints Cosmas and Damian.
