Co-Cathedral of St. Nicholas of Bari (Concatedral de San Nicolás de Bari) Tours and Activities

Built between 1614 and 1662, this towering cathedral was designed by Agustin Bernardino and erected on the same site as a historic mosque. An impressive nave and six side chapels surround the sky-high blue dome at the center of the altar. Travelers say the chapel of the Holy Communion is one of the cathedral’s most beautiful and a striking example of Spanish Baroque architecture and design.
Despite its unassuming (and rather bare) exterior, the interior of San Nicolas is something to behold. In addition to the quiet chapels, visitors will find a raised pipe organ and quiet cloisters with well-tended gardens.
Practical Info
The cathedral is located in Plaza de Abad Penalva in Alicante. The main façade is on the east side of the church. Masses take place in Spanish every hour on Sunday mornings.
Address: Plaza de Abad Penalva, Alicante, Spain
