Church of San Bartolomé, Logroño
Iglesia de San Bartolomé
Logroño's oldest church. Its 13th- and 14th-century Gothic portal carvings of saints are among the finest medieval sculptures in La Rioja.
Construction of the Church of San Bartolomé began in the late 12th century. The building transitions from Romanesque to Gothic and is known for its distinctive Mudéjar brick bell tower. The highlight is the 14th-century Gothic main portal, whose layered arches are carved with scenes from the life and martyrdom of St Bartholomew, full of vivid figures. The church is in the northern part of the old town, about a three-minute walk from the Stone Bridge. Admission is free, but opening hours are limited.
