The Monastery of Santo Domingo
(16th century) houses historic images and embrossings. You
will also find the fortress churches of San Cernin (14th
century) and of San Nicolás (13th century), both built in
Gothic style.
The third stage of the Route begins in
Pamplona and passes through Cizur Menor, where you can explore
the ruins of a hospital for pilgrims, the Church of the
Encomienda de San Juan de Jerusalén (12th century) and the
Romanesque Temples of San Emeterio and San Celedonio.
The journey continues to the town of
Zariegui, where remains a cobbled section of the Route on its
way to Alto del Perdón. Then it passes through the villages of
Uterga, Muruzábal and Obanos, where the paths to Somport and
Rocesvalles intersect, beside the small Chapel of San
Salvador.
The Route finally reaches the town of Puente
de la Reina, final stop of the third stage. This place was
named after a bridge built by doña Mayor de Navarra, in the
11th century, for pilgrims. Here travellers can rest in
the refuge for pilgrims of the Padres Reparadores (Telf.:948
340 050), or in the El Peregrino inn (Telf.:948 340
075).
