late Baroque early Neoclassical

Pancorbo (Burgos - Castilla y León), Spain

Driving to the Basque Country of Spain, I would always drive through this curious little town tucked away in a mountain pass, thinking what a beautiful place for a little town to be, but would never have time to stop.  One day, on my way home, having no better place to be in that moment, I decided to stop and check it out.  I discovered the beautiful late-Baroque-early-Neoclassical façade of the parish church of San Nicolás (Saint Nicholas) built, in the early 1700s, over an earlier Renaissance style church in ruins.
