What to see and do in Muruzábal

Muruzábal
Village
A former royal town of the Valdizarbe, 26 km from Pamplona, on the Camino de Santiago coming from Somport. In 1407, King Carlos III created the viscounty of Muruzábal for his brother Leonel. The town became independent from Valdizarbe in 1730, after paying 5,280 reales to the crown. It has 283 inhabitants.
Iglesia de San Esteban de Muruzábal
Monument
A 14th-century church expanded during the Renaissance, with a Latin-cross plan and a Renaissance dome, with 15th-century Gothic altarpieces dedicated to San Juan Bautista and San Juan Evangelista.
Santa María de Eunate
Monument
About 2 km from the village, this octagonal Romanesque church, dated to 1170, stands at the point where the pilgrim routes to Santiago from Somport and Roncesvalles converge. Surrounded by an exterior gallery of 33 arches, with a pentagonal apse and a square tower, it was traditionally attributed a Templar origin that no document confirms; archaeological finds, with scallop shells in burials, point instead to an old pilgrims' hospital. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) on 3 June 1931.
