Church of Santa María de Palacio in Logroño The church of Santa María de Palacio in Logroño was built in the 11 C, rebuilt in the 13 C and it was extended in the 16 C. It is noted for its spired tower, in Romanesque-Ogive style, called the "steeple" by the inhabitants of Logroño. It is difficult to determine the style that predominates in the monument, in view of the many modifications that have been made over the centuries. |

The Church of Santiago el Real The Church of Santiago el Real has always been connected to the history of the city of Logroño. Legend states that the temple was founded by Ramiro I, right after the battle of Clavijo. However the present construction, in the style Reyes Católicos, was begun in 1513 and the vaulting was not completed until the middle of the 16 C. The church was built over the remains of a former temple, located on a hillock protected by the ramparts to the north. |

Cathedral of Santa María de La Redonda The Cathedral of Santa María de La Redonda was built over a former Romanesque temple from the 12 C. In the year 1453 it was promoted to Collegiate Church, after it incorporated the church of San Martín de Albelda which provided the temple with much more space. Santa María La Redonda has been restored many times over the centuries: in the first third of the 16 C, in the 18 C, and at the end of the 20 C. |

| Iglesia de San Bartolomé Los orígenes de este templo, el más antiguo de la ciudad, todavía siguen planteando muchos interrogantes. La presencia de los artesanos curtidores en las calles próximas durante el medievo es, con toda seguridad, la causa de su advocación, en honor de San Bartolomé, patrón del gremio. Tradicionalmente se le otorgó frecuentemente un papel defensivo, dado que formaba parte de la muralla y su cercana situación a las puertas de la Herventia y del Puente. |

Las obras se extendieron hasta 1645. |

The Old Hospital for Pilgrims - Parador of Santo Domingo de la Calzada The old Hospital for Pilgrims was built by Santo Domingo with the aim of relieving the sufferings of pilgrims on their way to Santiago. To this end the saint also built a section of road in Nájera, a stone bridge of great importance spanning the Oja river and a hospice run by himself.
