Santa María de Eunate
Iglesia de Santa María de Eunate
An isolated octagonal Romanesque chapel in the fields, with a mysterious outer arcade often linked to Templar legends.
This 12th-century Romanesque chapel stands alone among the wheat fields. Its irregular octagonal plan is surrounded by a ring of arcades, and its unusual design has led to legends linking it with the Knights Templar. Some scholars instead see it as a funerary chapel for pilgrims. The Aragonese route of the Camino passes through here. Admission is about 2 euros. The chapel is often closed in winter and on Mondays, but the exterior can be seen at any time. It is just about 5 km from Puente la Reina, so it is usually visited on the way.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:30–13:30, 16:00–19:00; closed Mondays and some winter hours
