Capilla de Espíritu Santo, Medieval chapel in Orreaga/Roncesvalles, Spain.

The stone chapel displays Romanesque architecture with thick walls, a vaulted ceiling, and geometric patterns carved into its external facade.

Built in the 12th century, this religious structure became a significant marker along the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route through northern Spain.

Located at the western edge of the Pyrenees, the chapel represents the intersection of French and Spanish architectural traditions in Navarre.

Visitors can reach the chapel by following the N-135 road from Pamplona, with guided tours available through the Real Colegiata office.

The chapel houses stone relics connected to the Battle of Roncevaux Pass, where Roland, nephew of Charlemagne, met his end in 778.
