It has an 11th century Romanesque apse, one of the oldest in the area. It preserves works of great value such as a Gothic crucifix and has been registered as an Asset of Cultural Interest in the category of Monument since 25th November 1980. The church has undergone several stages of construction from the primitive building of the late 11th or early 12th century, which consisted of a nave, a presbytery and an apse. Today it is only possible to see the apse from the outside, which still has the two capitals of the columns (possibly free-standing) that divided it into three sections, and the corbels that show motifs such as the sun and the moon, male and female faces and various animals (eagles, snakes, etc.). From the following construction stage, which consisted of the construction of a portico at the foot of the church and which took place in the middle of the 12th century, only one of the arches that serves as a shutter to the present-day narthex and another one that has been blinded are preserved. Still in the Romanesque period, in order to give the church the status of an abbey, two naves were built attached […]

Temple with an elongated ground plan, with a simple rectangular roof, narrower than the base, with straight walls devoid of buttresses. On the east wall there is a lobed rose window. Both in its forms and in its doorway with a very acute arch, an advanced chronology of the 13th century can be appreciated, in a style of transition from Romanesque to Gothic. The eaves are supported by an interesting display of corbels, such as a lizard, a pair of quadrupeds, a man and woman paired together or a knight on his mount.

The Fortress Tower of Baños de Rioja was one of a series of fortresses that were scattered throughout the upper Rioja region to protect against raids and sieges at the time. At the beginning of the year 1200 (13th century), the López de Haro family, owners of the lordship of Vizcaya and founders of the town of Bilbao, ordered the construction of this fortress in Baños de Rioja. It originally had two towers, a wall, moat and defensive bastions and was topped with battlements. The keep, which is the one that remains standing today, has been declared a historical heritage site under Law 16/1985. Its characteristics correspond to the prototype of the Gothic tower in the region. It has thick ashlar walls (1.70 m thick), a rectangular floor plan (9.75 x 8 m), and is 19 m high. It still has all of its original arrow slits on the ground and second floors, windows with semicircular arches with stone seats on the sides on the first and third floors, and windows with mullioned windows on the fourth floor, as well as part of the mullioned windows of the defensive balcony on the first floor. Diego López III de Haro was […]

Teatrisso Hotel Palacio is located in the medieval village of Cuzcurrita de Río Tirón, in a region of great history, tradition and worship of wine, La Rioja Alta. It is housed in a 17th century palatial house that has been refurbished and converted into a charming hotel. Just like at home. This hotel, a restored 17th century mansion, which was also once a farmhouse, wheat storehouse, bread oven… is conceived as a meeting point for art, entertainment, history, design, fun and relaxation. A space for cinema and the arts. In the 1920s and 1930s, the mansion already housed within its walls the magic of the first black and white film projections, the joy of the theatre on its stage of boards and paper backdrops, and the excitement of its dance hall. This spirit is maintained thanks to its decoration, its rooms, and its cultural agenda. One room, one world. Each of the 12 rooms is decorated in a personalised way, following themes linked to cinema, theatre, music, fine arts, literature… And they are given names such as Western, Film Kisses, Comedians and Troupé, Ballroom…. The combination of antique furniture with the latest designs is surprising. Flavours of the land. Taste […]

Los Calaos de Briones offers travellers accommodation in a 17th century building, restored in 2012 with the respect that a town declared a Historic-Artistic Site deserves. This hotel in the historic centre, close to the square, in the heart of the wine route of La Rioja Alta, has 8 rooms that offer visitors the charm of rustic decoration, as well as the comfort of spacious rooms with a bedroom, living room and individual bathrooms.

The more traditional cellars, known as “calaos” or “caves”, dug into the earth and sometimes into the rock itself, needed a solution so that the carbon dioxide gas emanating during the fermentation of the grapes, known as “tufo”, would not be stored inside them. On the hill in the Bodegas district, these small ashlar stone constructions stand out as chimneys, the “tuferas”, used to ventilate the cellars. They date from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Brands Maturana Tinta, Garnacha Viñedos Centenarios and Viura A winery dating from 1881 recovered for wine tourism and as a wine bar. Its secrets remained hidden during the 30 years it was closed, with the legacy built since its opening in 1881 hidden from everyone’s eyes. A thorough restoration has made it possible for this 19th century winery, in which wine was made in the traditional way through carbonic maceration, to re-emerge in the present day. With its heritage value intact and a new essential tourist component in the wine-growing region par excellence. La Bodega del Tesoro not only recovers for our days a historic building. It is also a way of life reminiscent of two centuries ago, which is nourished by unique experiences. Like the possibility of tasting a wine in the depths of its cellar, where the temperature is always constant, regardless of the time of year. Or to enjoy a lunch in the purest Riojan style inside a centuries-old vat: feeling wine has never been so easy. Designed to host small group visits and customer events, the original elements of the facility (press, vats, vats and even the key to the winery) have been recovered to perfection. […]
