Church of San Lorenzo (San Fermín Chapel)
Iglesia de San Lorenzo
A church housing the silver bust of San Fermín, the city's patron saint. The grand religious procession of 7 July sets out from here each year.
The Baroque San Fermín Chapel inside the church houses a silver bust of San Fermín, the city's patron saint and the spiritual heart of the festival. Each year on the morning of 7 July, the image is carried out to parade through the old town, accompanied by giants, big-headed puppets and traditional dances, creating a magnificent spectacle. Before the running of the bulls, runners sing a prayer to the image on the Santo Domingo slope. Entry to the church is free. It stands opposite Taconera Park.
