Monumental Gothic temple built between 1490 and 1510 in the town of Bañares, in the region of Santo Domingo de la Calzada (Rioja Alta).

This church, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin "Santa Croce"), relates its patron saint to the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" outside Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and in 312 the long time of persecution ended with the Milan “Tolerance Edict”). In the early fourth century she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics from there to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The Church celebrates the feast of the discovery of the Holy Cross - called "Exaltation of the Cross" - on September 14th.

This little church is right next to the big church. It is originally from the 12th century. Particularly impressive is the portal. Sightseeing possible on request.

Beautiful church from the 15th century. Information is available in the church in different languages.
