Gallipienzo/Galipentzu
Village
A town with Roman roots —a fragment of a milestone was found at the San Juan site— assigned by Sancho III the Great to his son Ramiro around 1035 as a defensive watchtower. It received a fuero (charter) from Teobaldo I in 1237, which set its manorial dues at 100 cahíces of wheat and oats.
Iglesia de San Salvador de Gallipienzo
Monument
A late-12th-century Romanesque church with a crypt and upper church, one of only four such structures built in Navarre during the Romanesque period. It preserved mid-14th-century Franco-Gothic mural paintings, now moved to the Museo de Navarra.
Iglesia de San Pedro de Gallipienzo
Monument
A church built at the same time as San Salvador, converted into a parish in 1640. Its main altarpiece, from 1629, is the work of the sculptor Juan de Berroeta and depicts scenes of the Passion along with figures of San Pedro and the Asunción.
