Real Colegiata de Santa María de Roncesvalles

Monument · Orreaga/Roncesvalles, Pirineo, Navarra

Founded by King Sancho VII the Strong, the current church of the collegiate was built between 1215 and 1221 and is considered the finest example of Navarrese Gothic, inspired by Notre-Dame de Paris; it preserves a 14th-century image of the Virgin. The historic complex of the Real Colegiata de Roncesvalles/Orreaga forms part, as an expressly inscribed property, of the Camino de Santiago declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993.
