Nájera, Medieval municipality in La Rioja, Spain.
Located on the banks of River Najerilla at 485 meters elevation, Nájera features stone buildings and narrow streets within its historic center.
The town became the capital of the Kingdom of Nájera-Pamplona in the 11th century when King Sancho III modified the pilgrimage route to Santiago.
The Monastery of Santa María La Real, constructed in 1032, contains the Royal Pantheon with tombs of thirty monarchs and the Dukes of Nájera.
The Nájera History and Archaeological Museum presents exhibits from prehistory through medieval times, including Roman artifacts and regional paintings.
A cave beneath the monastery marks the location where, according to local accounts, the Virgin appeared to King Don García before construction began.
