Description of Visitar Orreaga / Roncesvalles

Visit Orreaga/Roncesvalles offer guided tours in Roncesvalles, in the Navarro Pyrenees.

Roncesvalles is the meeting point for many pilgrims who want to start the Camino de Santiago. There the song of Roland was written that tells us about the great battle of Roncesvalles. A city to visit in depth. Some of the points that they invite us to know are:

  • Collegiate Church of Santa María. A church from 1200 that was built by King Sancho VII and has undergone different transformations since then. All the Gothic elements so typical of the Middle Ages were removed and a roof was added. In 1940 they wanted to return the collegiate church to its original appearance, although many neo-Gothic details were added to its façade.
  • Monument to the battle of Roncesvalles. One of the most famous battles of the Middle Ages that marked a town and to which they wanted to pay tribute. Famous for its transcendence in literature and oral tradition. Charlemagne's nephew, his beloved Roland, died in the battle. Roldán was the namesake of the Cid in France, the greatest defender of Christianity.
  • Church of Santiago. A small Gothic church that is visited every year by thousands of pilgrims.

Guided tours can be done both in the morning and in the afternoon.
