Puente la Reina Romanesque Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Puente la Reina (Basque Gares) is a municipality with 2840 inhabitants. In Puente la Reina, the Aragonese and Navarrese branches of the Way of St. James meet, the common path crossing the Arga river via the bridge of the same name.

The name and development are linked to the bridge donated by Dona Mayor, Queen of Navarre, wife of King Sancho Mayor, or her daughter-in-law. Despite all the uncertainty regarding the founder, the construction of the bridge in the first half of the 11th century is certain.

Because river crossings were dangerous, detours were long and ferry services expensive, the streams of pilgrims soon concentrated on this bridge. This was followed by the settlement of Franks and the founding of a market town. The development of the city is an example of the infrastructure projects of this time and their effect, and can often be found in a comparable form on the Way of St. James.

In 1122 it received city rights, from 1235 the construction of the city wall began. García IV donated the city to the Templars, and after their dissolution at the beginning of the 14th century, it passed to the Hospitallers.

San Juan Bautista Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Very close to the highway and crossing the Robo river, this beautiful church dates from the 12th century and stands out for its Romanesque architecture but atypical compared to the other churches in the area. The environment that surrounds it makes it stand out even more in the wonderful landscape of the Navarrese interior. A place worth visiting and that you can take advantage of to get off your skinny back and get some fresh air!

Church of the Crucifix (Iglesia del Crucifijo)

Highlight • Religious Site

This place of worship, which is named after the Holy Cross (Latin "Santa Croce"), relates its patronage to the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" outside Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and in 312 the long time of persecution ended with the Milan “Tolerance Edict”). In the early fourth century she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics from there to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The feast of the discovery, public presentation and veneration of the Holy Cross - called "Exaltation of the Cross" - is celebrated by the Church on September 14th.

Church of Santiago el Mayor (Puente la Reina)

Highlight • Religious Site

Right at the beginning of Calle Major is the worth seeing Santiago Church, in which the saint is depicted as a pilgrim. In addition to the colonnade, only the portal, wonderfully decorated with sculptures, remains of the once Romanesque church.
