Hotels near Concatedral de San Nicolas

The Concatedral de San Nicolas is Alicante's co-cathedral, a restrained Renaissance church completed in the 17th century and dedicated to the city's patron saint. Its plain limestone exterior gives little hint of the calm, harmonious interior within.

The highlight is the blue-tiled dome rising 45 metres over the crossing, and a serene 16th-century cloister that survives from the earlier building on the site. It is one of the finest examples of the sober Herrerian style in the Valencian region.

Pro Tip: Entry is free. It sits just a couple of minutes from the Basilica de Santa Maria, so visit both churches in one short loop through the old town.
