Church with a remarkable blend of architectural styles

A journey to the Pyrenees in Spain ~ Navarre Autonomous Community The Church of San Juan Bautista de Estella reflects centuries of history. Located at the heart of Plaza de los Fueros, it stands as one of the city's most iconic religious buildings. Its origins date back to the 12th century, although it has undergone various modifications, resulting in a structure that combines Romanesque, Gothic, and later elements. Particularly noteworthy are its ornate Gothic façade and interior, where visitors can find several chapels featuring fascinating altarpieces. One of the most striking aspects of the church is its sturdy tower, which contributes to its robust appearance. Additionally, this church has played a significant role in the city's life, serving as the headquarters of one of Estella's oldest parishes. The surroundings add to its charm: the lively Plaza de los Fueros, where the church is situated, offers a perfect spot to relax and peacefully admire its architecture.
