Declared a national historic-artistic monument. In 1509, Don Juan de Velasco, Bishop of Calahorra and La Calzada, obtained permission from Pope Julius II to found a monastery in Casalarreina. Construction began in 1514 and was completed in 1524, with the intervention of great masters such as Juan de Rasines and Felipe Virgany. It was inaugurated in 1522 by Adrian VI. The monastery complex, inhabited by cloistered contemplative Dominican nuns since its foundation, is made up of the different cloistered rooms and the church, accessed through a rich Plateresque doorway with 4 pointed archivolts. CHURCH It has a large nave with five bays, with chapels between the buttresses and a large main chapel with transept arms and an octagonal chancel. The main doorway opens in the third bay and is protected by a portico in a small temple covered with a dome on pendentives; the decoration of its columns is profuse with plant motifs, human and mythological figures.

The parish church of Ochánduri is dedicated to the Conception of the Virgin and is one of the best examples of sculpture in the River Tirón area. It stands at the northeast end of the hamlet, which it dominates. The church was restored in 1991, leaving its chevet free to the interior as the altarpiece was relocated to the foot of the church. The chevet, part of the nave and its magnificent southern doorway remain from the original stage of the church, with the roofs dating from the late 17th century, as well as a large part of the nave. The apse of Ochánduri is one of the most perfect of the Riojan churches. Built with good ashlar stone in which we can see different stonework marks, it has four semi columns attached to it that divide it into five sections. In the central one, there is a recessed embrasure decorated with an archivolt supported by small columns with their bases and capitals. The archivolt is decorated with a small arch in the angle, flanked by scotias. The outside of the archivolt is decorated with pointillist decoration. The capitals show figures dancing, holding one ankle and rolling up their sleeves […]
