Santa Maria de Eunate A modest little church, yet shrouded in mystery and of rare elegance and harmony. On the Camino de Santiago in the hills lies the octagonal church with a small apse, built in the 12th century. Around it runs an also octagonal arcaded gallery with pillars and double columns. The whole complex is surrounded by a wall. The purpose of this gallery is not yet clear today. Outside the walls, graves of pilgrims with scallop shells were found, which suggests that it was also a cemetery chapel. A document also mentions a hospital of the Order of St. John, which is said to have been located in the vicinity. A legend also tells that it is a replica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and belonged to the Knights Templar.

At the general audience on June 21, 2006, the then Holy Father briefly summarized two biblically recorded events that describe the special position of James the Greater, the patron saint of this church, among the disciples: + "He was privileged, along with Peter and John, to participate in the hour of Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and in the event of Jesus' Transfiguration. (...) In the first instance, James, together with the other two apostles, experiences the glory of the Lord; he sees him speaking with Moses and Elijah; he sees the splendor of divine glory shining in Jesus; in the other instance, he faces suffering and humiliation; he sees with his own eyes how the Son of God humbles himself and is obedient to the point of death. The second experience was certainly an opportunity for him to mature in faith and to correct the one-sided, triumphalist interpretation of the first experience: He had to recognize that the Messiah, awaited by the Jewish people as a triumphant leader, was in reality not only full of honor and glory. surrounded not only by suffering, but also by suffering and weakness. The glory of Christ is realized precisely on the cross, in sharing in our sufferings." (Pope Benedict XVI)

The Church of Santiago in Puente la Reina, also known as the Church of Santiago el Mayor, is a historical and architectural gem. This parish church originally dates back to the 12th century, but most of what you see today dates back to the 16th century after extensive reconstruction. One of its most striking features is the late Romanesque entrance, which was preserved during later renovations. Inside you will find a special statue, known as the Black Santiago.

This is the complete opposite of the Chapel of the Cross: here the theme is splendor and glorification. Almost too much gold, pomp...
