Consecrated in 1890, the Church of the Sacred Heart (Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón) stands as one of Bilbao’s most striking and relatively new churches. Designed by architect José María de Basterra, this place of worship is distinguished by its red-brick, neo-Gothic exterior. The church’s facade, adorned with a prominent rose window, invites visitors to step inside and explore its architectural and spiritual significance. Today, visitors can appreciate the intricate details and the serene atmosphere that make this church a notable landmark in the city.
