A prime example of Gothic architecture in Navarre

Pyrenees adventure in Spain ~ Navarre Autonomous Community The church, attached to the castle, was a venue for grand celebrations and solemn events held by the monarchs of Navarre. On January 17, 1925, it was declared a cultural heritage site. Its impressive bell tower stands out prominently. The church, built in Gothic style, dates back to a construction period spanning from the 12th century to the early 14th century. In front of the main entrance (which we couldn't see due to ongoing restoration), there is an original courtyard without Gothic arches. We were fortunate to visit the interior for free as a mass was being celebrated. The main altar features an impressive Renaissance altarpiece adorned with Gothic carvings of the Virgin Mary and Christ of the Good Death.
