Ruta del Vino Rioja Alta
Romanesque from the 13th century. Together with the hermitage and the remains of other buildings, it stands on a hill overlooking the River Ebro, protecting the lands of La Sonsierra and La Rioja Alta from attacks from Navarre. It is made of ashlar, reinforced at the corners with round cubes, giving rise to a seven-sided polygonal shape, of which the square-shaped Torre del Homenaje (Homage Tower) forms part at the eastern end, attached to the wall and housing the chapel on the ground floor.

One of the most emblematic winery districts in La Rioja is San Asensio, also known as Barrio de las Cuevas. It has 300 wineries located on a hill called Cerrillo Verballe, in the upper part of the village. A large number of the cellars are excavated underground with entrances and small ashlar constructions visible. There are also tuferas, or “tuferas”, which are visible as a sign of the cellars dug into the rock, which criss-cross each other, giving rise to passages between cellars. There are cellars from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
