More information on Iglesia de la Encarnación

The Church of the Incarnation is located in the old part of the city, where farmers growing vegetables and the local chacoli wine grape used to thrive. It was also once the gateway to the Way of St. James. Construction was started by local people in the 16th century (precise date unknown). It was at first a little monastery in the Calle Somera, housing 29 monks, who moved to the Convento de la Encarnacion, in Atxuri. The building was completed in 1523, but was not at first accepted by the the secular clergy nor the nobility of Bilbao. You can visit the church and hear Mass there.
