A fusion of history and art in architectural splendor.

A journey to the Pyrenees in Spain ~ Navarre Autonomous Community The church is located in the charming Navarre town of Puente la Reina, and its most striking feature is its impressive cross. Its unique style leaves a profound impression on those who contemplate it. The slender structure and the depiction of Christ on the cross make it a masterpiece. The church also showcases an intriguing combination of architectural styles. While it retains the essence of its original Romanesque design, it has incorporated Gothic and Renaissance elements over the centuries. Its modest exterior and towering stone walls convey the solemnity of the Knights Templar, while its interior inspires reflection and admiration. Visiting the Church of the Cross is not just an artistic and cultural experience but also a journey back to the golden age of medieval pilgrimage. For those traveling the Camino de Santiago, it is a must-visit destination filled with history, spirituality, and beauty.
