    Perched on top of a small rocky hill - like a fortress - the Church of San Nicolás in Molinaseca stands out for its high and elegant tower, which shows a centenary clock of great proportions and a niche with the sculpture of San Nicolás de Bari (Bishop and titular saint of the temple).

    The parish church was built in the seventeenth century and shows an interesting neoclassical facade. The interior consists of three naves separated by stone pillars and semicircular arches, with blind dome in the transept on hanging fabrics.

    It houses numerous Baroque altarpieces, a beautiful Renaissance tabernacle, a beautiful Gothic sculpture of the crucified and a beautiful seventeenth-century drawer in the sacristy.

    The main altarpiece is Churrigueresque, the work of Pedro Núñez de Losada in 1674. The statue of Saint Nicholas is in the center and culminates in a unique sculpture of the Risen Christ.

    Molinaseca is part of the Camino de Santiago.
