Puente La Reina – Gares

The municipality stretches across 39 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 345 meters between Pamplona and Estella in northern Spain.

During the 11th century, Queen Muniadona commissioned the construction of a six-arched bridge over the Arga River to assist pilgrims on their journey.

The convergence of the French and Aragonese Ways of Saint James routes in this location created a significant crossroads for European pilgrims.

The town maintains several accommodations, restaurants, and essential services along its main street, Calle Mayor, which connects to the medieval bridge.

The Romanesque bridge remains entirely intact since its medieval construction, featuring six perfectly proportioned arches spanning the width of the Arga River.
