Religious heritage

Places of faith and silence

Navarre’s religious heritage bears the mark of ancient pilgrimages and a spirituality expressed in both grand collegiate churches and humble rural chapels. It is a region where architecture and faith have evolved hand in hand, giving rise to a landscape where Romanesque, Gothic and other artistic styles coexist. Every church, monastery or sanctuary forms part of a network of places designed for contemplation, reflection and the transmission of a deeply rooted historical identity.
