What stands there
1 church
Perched on a rocky spur above Estella, a stage that the Codex Calixtinus already described as "good and fertile in excellent bread, in exquisite wine", this church preserves a Romanesque cloister of around 1170 whose capitals bear witness to the spread of artistic forms along the Way of St James.
