Parish of Saint Vincent the Martyr
The Parish of San Vicente Mártir, located in a charming town in Navarra, is an architectural jewel that stands out for its history and art. Built in the second half of the 16th century by the masters Cristóbal de Zúñiga and Juan de Miaja, following the plans of the renowned Martín de Landerrain, this church is a testimony of the art and devotion of the time. Its design is sober and functional, with a single nave and a polygonal head, characteristics that reflect the religious architecture of its time. The roofs, renovated with recent groin vaults, are harmoniously integrated into the original structure, maintaining the historical essence of the building.
The parish tower, built of ashlar at the beginning of the 17th century, adds an element of majesty and solidity to the complex. Inside the church, the main altarpiece, made in the mid-17th century, is an impressive work of art. This altarpiece presents scenes from the Infancy of Christ, as well as representations of saints and the Assumption of the Virgin, standing out for its detailed iconography and its decorative richness.
In addition, the church and its sacristy house several carvings, including a crucified man and several images of saints, which cover different artistic styles. These pieces, together with the altarpiece, constitute a valuable religious and artistic heritage. The liturgical trousseau of the parish includes a nave and two baroque reliquaries, objects of great historical and artistic value that further enrich the complex.
Virgen del Campo Hermitage
The Virgen del Campo Hermitage, located within the same town, is a small sanctuary that radiates an atmosphere of peace and meditation. Although the walls and materials appear ancient, the hermitage has been the subject of a recent reconstruction that has respected its original appearance. Inside there is a valuable Romanesque carving of the titular Virgin, a work of art that reflects the Marian devotion of past centuries. In addition, the hermitage houses two other baroque carvings, which complement the artistic and spiritual ensemble of the place.Read more
Acedo Palace
The Acedo Palace, a 17th century building, is another of the architectural treasures of this town. Contemporary with other emblazoned houses in the area, the palace stands out for its elegance and history. Although today it is a private home, its façade and structure preserve the splendor of past times, being a notable example of the civil architecture of the region.
Cruise
The transept, located in a prominent point of the town, stands on a double circular staircase that gives it an imposing presence. It consists of a smooth prismatic shaft, topped by a capital-like piece that presents reliefs of saints. This base supports a smooth cross, a symbol of faith and tradition that has endured over the centuries.
Laundry Room
The town laundry is another element of historical and cultural interest. Traditionally, laundries were places of meeting and community work, where women met to wash clothes and share moments of conviviality. This well-preserved laundry room transports us to bygone times and allows us to appreciate an important part of the daily life of the community.
