It is located to the west of the town, below the castle. Due to its excellent position, it defended the Ebro crossing of the border between Navarre and Castile. It is possible that its existence dates back to 1172, when the town received the charter from Sancho the Wise of Navarre. However, the oldest preserved part may date back to the 13th century, with a Romanesque structure. It consisted of thirteen pointed arches, on triangular cutwater basins and rectangular spurs and two defensive towers, one in the centre and probably another at the entrance on the left bank. This construction was rebuilt at the end of the 16th century, transforming it into a bridge with twelve arches and a single tower. It is built in ashlar and masonry. It currently has nine arches, of different spans and shapes: the first three, which are the oldest, are pointed, the next three are semicircular, the seventh is elliptical, the eighth is bell-shaped and the ninth is semicircular. It rests on pillars with nine cutwaters of different shapes (triangular, pointed and semicircular) and nine rectangular spurs. The roadway has a slightly sloping profile from the right bank to the left, and has nine […]

The complex is one of the artistic treasures of the region. It was built in 1136 in Romanesque style with a single nave. It was ordered to be built by D. Ramiro Sanchez in memory of his participation in the First Crusade, in which he took part by entering Jerusalem through the door of the Piscina Probática. The monumental sculpture in this church is varied. The windows are decorated with checkerwork, balls, flowers inscribed in circles, and vegetal and historiated capitals. The façade has balls, nailheads and mosaics. Several decorated corbels have been preserved. Next to the hermitage, there is a medieval necropolis of repopulation, a settlement with semi-rural dwellings and the remains of fortifications or watchtowers.

The Castle of San Vicente is located on the top of the hill overlooking the Ebro. It was once the largest fortress in Navarre built near the river, forming part of the defensive line of Laguardia and Labastida. It was built from 1170 or 1172 under the direction of Ferrant Moro, by order of Sancho the Wise of Navarre, who, in 1172, gave the town a charter, making it royal. The solidity of its walls and its advantageous position overlooking the Ebro must have made it impregnable. It lost its military interest after 1512, when the kingdom of Navarre became part of Castile, and in 1516 it was sold by Pedro Girón, Count of Ureña, to the Velasco family. Therefore, when the parish church was built, it had already lost its military function, recovering it in the 19th century, when it was used during the first Carlist war (1833-1840). After 1898, with the collapse of part of the walls and the use of its stone for construction, the complex was systematically demolished. During the second half of the 20th century, several attempts were made to restore and recover it. It is a typical castle-fortress built on a hill, an old […]
