St Etienne church of Espelette, Basque Country (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) - Nouvelle Aquitaine - France - was built in the 16th century. From outside, it resembles a harsh fortress, which contrast with the richly decorated Baroque interior. Particularly noteworthy is the gilded altar, statues of saints and bas-reliefs with biblical scenes. The inner wooden gallery is very typical of this area in the Basque Country.
