Church of Santa María la Mayor, San Vicente de la Sonsierra

The church features a single nave with four sections, shallow chapels between buttresses, and a seven-sided octagonal head structure within the fortress walls.

Construction began in the late 15th century in the castle courtyard after the Kingdom of Navarre merged with the Kingdom of Castile in 1512.

The main Renaissance altarpiece from 1550 presents theological scenes including the Nativity, Resurrection, and images of Adam and Eve in natural form.

Entry to the church requires prior arrangement with the parish priest through phone number 686 387 526 for guided tours and visits.

The baptismal font from the 13th century displays ten trefoil arches depicting monks, clerics, and warriors with fleur-de-lis decorations.
