Viana, Medieval municipality in Navarre, Spain

Viana stretches across 78 square kilometers of varied terrain, combining northern hills with southern plains at an elevation of 469 meters.

King Sancho VII of Navarre established Viana on February 1, 1219, as a fortified settlement to protect the kingdom's western borders.

The Church of Santa Maria, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, features detailed stone carvings and contains the tomb of Cesare Borgia.

The municipality functions as a key stop on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, providing accommodations and services for pilgrims.

Viana maintains its original medieval street layout with a grid pattern reminiscent of French bastide towns of the Middle Ages.
