Colegiata Church of Roncesvalles

The Pyrenean enclave of Orreaga/ Roncesvalles in the north-east of Navarre near the French border, represents a milestone on the Pilgrim's Way and is home to one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture on the Iberian Peninsula: the Colegiata de Santa María (St. Mary's Collegiate Church). 





The descent from the Ibañeta mountain pass, on the road from Luzaide/Valcarlos brings us to this old hostel/hospital, built at the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century to take care of pilgrims following the Pilgrim's Way after crossing the Pyrenees.www.sanferminbalconies.com
