Two groups of sculptures in the square in front of the church that relate to travel/travelers, one group with boots/shoes, the other with suitcases.

What a wonderful view over the Riocha area you have from up here, most visitors coming from the parking lot have to enjoy this great view before diving into the old town.

Since the temple was completed in the 15th century, it has elements from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.

This church is located next to the city walls and, together with the church of San Juan Bautista, formed the fortified area that protected the medieval town.

A special mention should be made of the bell tower, which stands free-standing at the foot of the temple, and at the foot of the tower there is a rainwater cistern, which is intended to supply the inhabitants of the town with the precious water.

The tower cannot (currently?) be climbed (anymore?).

This ecclesiastical fortress was built in the opposite part of the city in relation to the Basilica of Santa María de los Reyes, attached to the wall and completing the southeastern end of the fortified area of Laguardia. Its current appearance is the result of successive interventions, expansions and reforms dating back from the end of the 12th century to practically the middle of the 18th century.

The medieval town of Laguardia, which is worth seeing, is located in the famous wine region of Rioja Alavesa on the left bank of the River Ebro. The old town, surrounded by city walls, is one of the most beautiful in the southern Basque Country
