Built in 1408, this is the parish church for Burgos, and its main feature is the vast ornate limestone altar. It's named for St Nicolás, whose bones were carried off to Bari from his tomb in Myra, Turkey. He thereby became better known in the west, as Santa Claus.
Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari is a Catholic church on Fernán González street in Burgos, Spain, located next to the Camino de Santiago, behind the Cathedral of Burgos. It is mainly known for having one of the largest altarpieces in Spain and the only one carved in limestone.
