The 14 best churches in Santander

Quaint little square. A few restaurants that offer menu del dia if you're hungry. Just off the port of Santander. Worth a visit .

Beautiful square where many activities are organised, during the semana grande it hosts the stage for concerts

There is something or other happening all the year here. Events, festivals and so on. Its an important part of the society.

Beautiful place! I was in Santander this weekend and on both days someone was playing live classical music, which just added to the impression. It was so nice just to sit there and admire the architecture ☺️

The place is beautiful and I visited when the Santander Orquestra was there laying. It was a special day.

The square looks amazingly remote, although is in the middle of the city. Probably we were out of season..

Plaza Porticada is a very nice square in Santabder city centre. 10 minutes walk from Town council. Plenty of shops, coffeehouses and restaurants nearby. Underground parking nearby. There are no entrance fees nor wait time to go in the square.

Excellent art gallery with so much to offer. The building itself is so nice! There are 2 floors full of so many artists with so many different perspectives. There are also objects in some of the exhibitions. I definitely recommend a visit.

This is just a review of the cafe on the ground level. The coffee and croissants were excellent. We arrived just before opening at 10am and had a seat outside in the shade with a wonderful view of the harbor. The service is as bit slow, but if you are not in a hurry then it is not a problem.

Nice to hang out at the café or check out rooftop of the museum. Large space inside with gorgeous views of the water but sadly not much to see inside. I think they need to have more works to display. Entry for 18 and under is free.

Bought the ticket when I arrived. There was no queue. The galleries in the art center were very interesting. If you have spare time, you should give it a try

Iconic building but art collection is relatively poor. Bit sad that building design didn’t contemplate Santander’s weather and all the exterior walls need to be covered by a net to avoid falling pieces hit people.

Modern design,nice higher view of the promenade from the terraces We visited the exhibition of the Spanish painter Maruja Mallo. We enjoyed it .Buy your ticket online for a reduction.

It's very important spot to hide in case of rain, an beside you find a grate spot for children with bar for adults.

A true gem in Santander! The palace is an architectural marvel with a fascinating history—it served as the summer residence of King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenie. The grounds are stunning, perfect for a peaceful walk, picnic, or just enjoying the views. There’s also a small zoo and playground, great for kids. We walked there (about 35 minutes from the city center), but there’s also a tourist train available. Access to the gardens is free, and guided tours of the palace interior are available and absolutely worth it. Facilities are clean, and there’s a nice café on-site. A must-visit for anyone coming to Santander—beautiful, historic, and family-friendly!”

If you are in Santander, you must visit this place. Besides the beautiful park and the emblematic buildings, the view is absolutely breathtaking. As a recommendation, if you enjoy walking, don’t take the little train to reach the palace. The distances presented by the staff who guide you are exaggerated — the walking times are much shorter.

I enjoyed going to see it but I didn't want to visit inside the palace. I found the outside space very pleasant to walk around and the exterior of the palace is really very beautiful and for those who saw the series Grand Hotel it is really cool to go there.

Situated on the western peninsula of the bay, this former palace is the centre piece of a beautiful park with an excellent circular walk, lovely beach, great viewing points towards the bay and out to sea.

Super pretty park with picknick area, toilet and view point, you can also find seals 🦭on the left side of the park, they got fresh sea water and seems happy but one of areas looked too small for 3 of them.

Really nice walk. It's on a small peninsula from which you have some fantastic views. Beautiful trees and a nice park as well to relax or have a stroll, away from the crowded innercity. There is also a small zoo in the area where we saw some seals.

Grand palace on the peninsula once a fomer royal palace gifted to the king by the people of Santander. A few art insulations surround it.

Lovely cathedral, unfortunately it was closed and we didn’t have time to go inside but I’m sure it was as beautiful as it is on the outside!

We didn’t go in, because it was about to close (it was thursday, around 1pm), but the entry was only 2€ and it looked like there was a pretty inside. I recommended going around the cathedral, there’s many nice photo spots. 📸🌱

Very cool. And the Roman ruins were interesting. The cathedral was closed for a funeral, but we got breakfast near by and went back later.

The cathedral de Santander is located in the city center and it is a big church that has a small entrance fee but I would say is worth it as it is beautiful, not the church that much but the outside area, like a small garden in the middle. The visit doesn’t take long and I recommend it!

Surprisingly pleasant place to visit, and at €2 this is well worth a visit to get out of the heat (or in our case, the rain). The light and bright interior was a surprise given the fairly plain outside. Having been rebuilt in the 50s (an era not known for great architecture) this is appealingly understated. The cloisters are a nice place to sit and recover.

Nice place. 2€ entrance is ok. On the other side is also a small chapel with no cost. Fantastic colourful windows in the back.

It took 3 attempts to enter. 1st a Mass was due to take place. 2nd Siesta time closes everything. We finally gained access the following day. The crypt was lovely too.

Very disappointed. Been coming a few years now as we use the ferry. Very dated, way over priced and tiny plots. Caravans really dont fit. Seemed to be a festival going on, staff lied, said it was one night and only till 12pm. It was an all-nighter. Noise was unbelievable. Spoke to staff next day who said it was on for another night. We along with most others left. Site was empty. They still charged highest rates we have ever paid. Wont be going back. Neach beautiful. Beach bar nice. Campsite... sadly, will give it a miss.

Lovely traditional church we were here on the 5th of June 2022 during the fiesta 😀

It's out of this world

Very bonito beach. With a cafe

Amazing location. Good bar, tapas

Pintoresque site . Island at high tides. Penninsula at low tide

A piece of paradise

Beautiful. People still praying inside. God, protect Spain from losing faith.

Great lighting.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent, a church like you don't always see. The paintings and colors are of great beauty. The colors chosen by the painter are exquisite. A feast for the eyes. Don't miss a visit to this church, don't miss it. The pillars representing the 12 apostles are so beautiful with high quality architectural and painting work. Not too much flourish or gilding like in other churches but a lot of beauty. What touched me was that some of the walls and some of the paint were starting to peel off, that’s sad. We can each contribute at our convenience to the preservation of this type of heritage. THANKS. (Original) Magnifique , une église comme en voit pas toujours. Les peintures , les couleurs sont d’une grande beauté. Les couleurs choisies par l’artiste peintre sont exquises. Un régal pour les yeux. Ne ratez pas la visite de cette église, ne ratez pas. Les piliers représentant les 12 apôtres sont tellement beaux avec un travail architectural et de peinture d’une grande qualité. Pas trop de fioriture ni de dorure comme dans les autres églises mais beaucoup de beauté. Ce qui m’a touché c’est que certains murs et certaines peintures commencent à s’écailler, que c’est triste. Nous pouvons contribuer chacun a sa convenance pour la préservation de ce type de patrimoine. Merci.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church. Its interior is distinguished by a 20-meter nave, supported by twelve columns depicting the twelve apostles. I will not write much, it is worth seeing in person. (Original) Дуже гарний костел. Його інтер'єр вирізняється 20-метровим нефом, що підтримується дванадцятьма колонами, що зображують дванадцять апостолів. Не буду багато писати це варто особисто побачити.

(Translated by Google) In my opinion, it is the most beautiful church in all of Santander, its Cruz la Tina floor plan is divided into three naves and a tower. In addition to its great height, it was not built with ostentatious materials, so its walls are decorated with paintings by Enrique Immencamp, a beautiful work. The architecture of the church is based on the Neo-Gothic style, its construction dates back to 1890. In the front it is above the stairs. A monument to Our Lord Jesus Christ, the work of the arch. Javier González de Riancho. One of the unmissable visits in the city, whether you are a Catholic believer or not! (Original) Es para mi gusto la iglesia más bonita de todo Santander , su planta de Cruz la Tina que se encuentra dividida en tres naves y una torre. Además de su gran altura no fue construida con materiales ostentosos, por lo que sus paredes están decoradas con pinturas de Enrique Immencamp , Un trabajo bellísimo , La arquitectura de la iglesia se basa en el estilo Neogótico su construcción data de 1890 . En el frente se encuentra por arriba de las escaleras. Un monumento a Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, obra del arq. Javier González de Riancho. Una de las visitas imperdible en la ciudad , seas o no creyente católico !

(Translated by Google) Magnificent church made of reinforced concrete and brick. (Original) Magnífica Iglesia realizada en hormigón armado y ladrillo.

(Translated by Google) I went to the Church for a funeral, it was not a good situation but it was very pleasant. The Panis Angelicus was performed by a tenor and with organ music. The priest already seemed tired and was a little stuck, but in his favor I will say that he gave a homily of a correct length, not at all heavy, which is not relevant in these cases. The building has a beautiful staircase at its main door and preserves the bell tower. In the side naves you can enjoy altarpieces from different periods. In addition to their work to preserve the historical cultural heritage of the Holy Week processions, the social work they carry out is worth highlighting. (Original) Me personé en la Iglesia para un funeral, no era una buena situación pero resultó muy agradable. El Panis Angelicus fue interpretado por un tenor y con la música del órgano. Al cura ya se le notaba cansado y se trababa un poco, pero en su favor diré que realizó una homilía de una duración correcta, nada pesada, que no es relevante en estos casos. El edificio tiene una bonita escalinata en su puerta principal y conserva el campanario, en las naves laterales se puede disfrutar de retablos de distintas épocas. Además de su labor de conservación del patrimonio histórico cultural de los pasos procesionales de Semana Santa cabe destacar la labor social que realizan.

(Translated by Google) The Church of San Francisco is a Roman Catholic, Apostolic, and eclectic (primarily Neo-Herrerian) temple located in the Cantabrian city of Santander; it stands at number 9 Calle de los Escalantes. It is the work of the Santander architect Javier González Riancho, one of Cantabria's most prestigious architects. He designed it in the mid-20th century after winning the 1940 design competition. It was inaugurated in 1953. It belongs to the Bishopric of Santander and is included in the lists of Cantabria's artistic and religious heritage. The church stands in the historic center of the city, next to the Esperanza market and very close to the town hall, on a site occupied since the 13th century by a Franciscan convent of great historical importance, which came to rival the Abbey of the Holy Bodies in the 15th century, demolished in 1896 to build the aforementioned market and town hall buildings. The remaining part of the complex was a church built in the 17th century, the former parish church of San Francisco de Asís, demolished in 1936 to complete the town hall building (until then only the western half had been built) and build the new church on its current site. (Original) La iglesia de San Francisco es un templo católico, apostólico y romano, eclecticista (principalmente, neo-herreriana), ubicado en la ciudad cántabra de Santander; se alza en el n.º 9 de la calle de los Escalantes. Es obra del arquitecto santanderino Javier González Riancho, uno de los arquitectos más prestigiosos de Cantabria, que la proyectó a mediados del siglo XX tras vencer en el concurso de proyectos de 1940, siendo inaugurada en 1953. Pertenece al obispado de Santander, y está incluida en las listas del patrimonio artístico-religioso de Cantabria. La iglesia se eleva en el casco histórico de la ciudad, junto al mercado de la Esperanza y muy cerca del ayuntamiento, en un solar ocupado desde el siglo XIII por un convento de franciscanos de gran importancia histórica, que llegó a rivalizar con la abadía de los Cuerpos Santos en el siglo XV, derribado en 1896 para construir los citados edificios del mercado y el ayuntamiento. Del complejo quedó una iglesia construida en el siglo XVII, antigua parroquia de San Francisco de Asís, derribada en 1936 para finalizar el edificio del ayuntamiento (hasta entonces sólo se encontraba construida la mitad oeste) y edificar la nueva iglesia en su localización actual.

Lovely church

(Translated by Google) This church is located in the heart of the city next to the Plaza del Cañadío & very close to Paseo Pereda, it is located exactly behind the Plaza de Pombo, it is open during worship hours... it is worth it since it dates back to 1987 at a cultural level. It was built in 1868 by A. Zabaleta, with a rectangular floor plan, a single nave and side chapels, in the Italian Renaissance style. What is most striking is the entrance staircase and the portico with Ionic columns. It has a tower adorned with several clocks. Inside, there is a Gothic carving of the Virgin with Child, the Virgin of Victories & a painting of Saint Lucia... I recommend that you stop to see this beautiful & large parish church ⛪️ (Original) Esta iglesia se encuentra en pleno centro de la ciudad junto a la Plaza del Cañadío & muy cerca del Paseo Pereda se encuentra exactamente detrás de la Plaza de Pombo,está abierta en horario de culto ... merece la pena ya que es datada en 1987 a nivel cultural. Fue construida en 1868 por A. Zabaleta, con planta rectangular, una sola nave y capillas laterales, al estilo renacentista italiano. Lo que más llama la atención es la escalinata de entrada, y el pórtico con columnas jónicas. Tiene la torre que adornada con varios relojes. En el interior, tiene de interés una talla gótica de la Virgen con Niño, la Virgen de las Victorias & un cuadro de Santa Lucía ... Os recomiendo que paréis a ver esta bonita & grande iglesia parroquial ⛪️

(Translated by Google) Beautiful "Renaissance" church located in the center of Santander on Calle Daoiz y Velarde next to Plaza de Cañadio. It was once the Cathedral of Santander for a short period. The architect of the Church was in 1868 Zabaleta, with a rectangular transept and semicircular apse, it consists of a central nave, protected on the sides by two open chapels. We highlight the "monumental portico" with stairs and Ionic columns. To the left of the transept, a beautiful chapel was created years later that is guarded by a large curtain and a fence. It has in the choir one of the oldest organs in Santander, repaired and with good sound. A fresco of "Saint Lucia" (by Paul Ratier) crowns the altarpiece next to Saint Ferdinand and the Virgin of Victories. It was declared of interest as a cultural asset in 1987 (Very interesting) (Original) Preciosa iglesia "renacentista" situada en el centro de Santander en la Calle Daoiz y Velarde junto a la plaza de Cañadio .

Una fresco de "Santa Lucía" (de Paul Ratier) corona el retablo junto a San Fernando y la Virgen de las Victorias. Fué declarada interés del bien cultural en el año 1987 (Muy interesante)

(Translated by Google) Built (1854-1868), a period in which very few churches were built in the country. This makes it one of the few examples of mid-19th-century religious architecture in Spain. Outside, there is a statue dedicated to Cardinal Herrera Oria. (Original) Construida (1854-1868), época en la que se construyeron muy pocas iglesias en el país.

(Translated by Google) The priest, who is not a Franciscan, has managed to get the regular parishioners of this parish to stop going. Churches are for going to hear mass, however, in this one we can do other more recreational activities after paying the entrance fee. All this accompanied by a priest and his unhelpful and somewhat interested friend. Always with a bad answer to give you. That's how it goes. (Original) El cura, que no es franciscano ha conseguido que los feligreses habituales de esta parroquia dejen de ir.

(Translated by Google) Small church just below the Santander Cathedral, with independent access. They say it is the oldest monument in the city. It is small, low ceilings, but very charming. They have found some older remains and have left them protected on display. The entrance costs 2 euros and also gives access to the Cathedral. Interesting visit. (Original) Pequeña iglesia justo debajo de la Catedral de Santander, con acceso independiente. Dicen que es el monumento más antiguo de la ciudad. Es pequeñita, techos bajos, pero muy coqueta. Han encontrado unos restos más antiguos y los han dejado a la vista protegidos. La entrada vale 2 euros y da acceso también a la Catedral. Visita interesante.

(Translated by Google) Church located in the center of Santander, in the lower part of the cathedral. Therefore, it has very low ceilings. It houses the remains of the martyrs San Emeterio and San Celedonio, patrons of the city. It mixes Romanesque and Gothic styles and there are even Roman remains. (Original) Iglesia ubicada en el centro de Santander, en la parte baja de la catedral. Por ello, tiene los techos muy bajos. Acoge los restos de los mártires San Emeterio y San Celedonio, patronos de la ciudad. Mezcla estilos románicos con góticos e incluso hay restos romanos.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful church, under very low pointed arches, Roman ruins (baths), and the heads of the holy martyrs. The sad thing is that while I was praying silently, a madman started shouting and saying it was locked, very rudely, reprimanding me for being there. A priest, much more discreet and polite, told me the same thing, apologizing with his eyes. (Original) Una iglesia preciosa, bajo arcos apuntados muy bajos, ruinas romanas (termas) y las cabezas de los santos mártires. Lo malo es que estando rezando en silencio un energúmeno ha empezado a decir que estaba cerrada de muy malos modos, a voces, recriminando que estuviera allí. Un sacerdote, mucho más discreto y educado, me ha comentado el bajo lo mismo, disculpándose con la mirada.

(Translated by Google) I agree with some people, this chapel, church or crypt is much more interesting than the Cathedral if we exclude the cloister. Inside, the arched architecture is magnificent and the space occupied by the preserved ruins is very interesting. There is a little humidity rising under the glass roof, is this controlled? (Original) Je rejoins certains avis, cette chapelle, église ou crypte est bien plus intéressante que la Cathédrale si l'on excepte le cloître. À l'intérieur, l'architecture en arcs est magnifique et l'espace occupé par les ruines sauvegardées est très intéressant. Il y a un peu d'humidité qui remonte sous la verrière, est-ce que c'est maîtrisé ?

(Translated by Google) 📍 This small church is located below Santander Cathedral (I suppose that's why it's so low). 🚪 However, the entrances to this church and the Cathedral are different: they're very close together; you go down some stairs and you're at the church entrance. ✝️ Inside, even though it's so small, it's very pretty, and I found it very interesting. (Original) 📍 Esta pequeña iglesia se encuentra debajo de la Catedral de Santander (supongo que por eso es tan baja). 🚪 Eso sí, las entradas a esta iglesia y la de la Catedral son diferentes: están muy cerca, bajas unas escaleras y ya estás en la entrada de la iglesia. ✝️ Por dentro, aunque sea tan pequeña, es muy bonita y me pareció muy curiosa.

(Translated by Google) The church of Santísimo Cristo stands on the old Somorrostro hill, a promontory that was a strategic enclave for several centuries. In this same place a camp must have been built that would serve to supply supplies to the nearby city of Portus Victoriae, which would be located near the Magdalena peninsula. In the 12th century, King Alfonso VIII gave the town of Santander the status of municipal jurisdiction in the year 1187. This meant an important economic and social development for the city, causing the small monastic church to become a collegiate church. At the beginning of the 13th century, work began on a new church and the castle, the latter being demolished at the end of the 19th century. In the mid-18th century the collegiate church became a cathedral under the mandate of Pope Benedict XIV. Externally, the cathedral has a robust and resistant appearance more typical of a fortress than a church, with a tall and solid bell tower. The current cathedral, the upper church, began construction during the 16th century. It is built on the church of Christ, with the floors of the two buildings exactly coinciding in order to increase its stability. At the bottom is the Church of Christ, the oldest, built in the 12th century on an old monastery. It is accessed through a door located under a portico with a gallery of pointed arches. It is Romanesque in style with three naves topped by apses, the latter built in later centuries and already in Gothic style. The church is characterized by its wide and robust pillars that support the upper church, as well as by the low height of its vaulted ceilings with ribbed arches. In one of the side naves of this church, archaeological remains from the Roman period can be seen through a glass pavement, probably from thermal baths. In this church are the tombs of Saint Emeterio and Saint Celedonio, who were tortured and killed at the end of the 3rd century during the rule of Emperor Diocletian. The two saints are the patrons of the city of Santander. Inside, it is worth highlighting the carving of the crucified Christ in polychrome wood located on the main altar and the stone piety that is a replica of a carving by the sculptor Gregorio Fernández and found in the national museum of Valladolid. A beautiful church, sober and simple, that impresses with its mysticism and invites reflection and introspection. Highly recommended visit. (Original) La iglesia del Santísimo Cristo se levanta sobre el antiguo cerro de Somorrostro, un promontorio que fue un enclave estratégico durante varios siglos. En este mismo lugar debió levantarse un campamento que serviría para el abastecimiento de provisiones a la cercana ciudad de Portus Victoriae, la cual estaría ubicada cerca de la península de la Magdalena. En el siglo XII, el rey Alfonso VIII dotó a la villa de Santander de la condición de fuero municipal en el año 1187. Esto supuso un importante desarrollo económico y social para la ciudad, haciendo que la pequeña iglesia monacal pasara a ser colegiata. A principios del siglo XIII comenzaron las obras de una nueva iglesia y del castillo, éste último fue derruido a finales del siglo XIX. A mediados del siglo XVIII la colegiata pasó a convertirse en catedral bajo el mandato del papa Benedicto XIV. Externamente la catedral tiene una apariencia robusta y resistente más propia de una fortaleza que de una iglesia, con una torre-campanario alta y maciza. La actual catedral, la iglesia alta, comenzó su construcción durante el siglo XVI. Está levantada sobre la iglesia del Cristo coincidiendo exactamente las plantas de los dos edificios con el fin de aumentar su estabilidad. En la parte inferior está la iglesia del Cristo, la más antigua, levantada en el siglo XII sobre un antiguo monasterio. A ella se accede por una puerta situada bajo un pórtico con una galería de arcos apuntados. Es de estilo románico con tres naves rematadas por los ábsides, éstos últimos construidos en siglos posteriores y ya en estilo gótico. La iglesia se caracteriza por sus pilares anchos y robustos que sostienen a la iglesia superior, así como por la baja altura de sus techos abovedados con arcos de crucería. En una de las naves laterales de esta iglesia se pueden ver a través de un pavimento acristalado restos arqueológicos de época romana, probablemente de unas termas. En esta iglesia se encuentran las tumbas de San Emeterio y San Celedonio, que fueron torturados y muertos a finales del siglo III durante el mandato del emperador Diocleciano. Los dos santos son los patronos de la ciudad de Santander. En su interior cabe destacar la talla del Cristo crucificado en madera policromada situada en el altar mayor y la piedad en piedra que es una réplica de una talla del escultor Gregorio Fernández y que se encuentra en el museo nacional de Valladolid. Una preciosa iglesia, sobria y sencilla, que impacta por su misticismo y que invita a la reflexión y la introspección. Visita muy recomendable.
