Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Puy

The Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Puy features a north doorway with detailed reliefs depicting the Resurrection and Archangel Michael's battle scenes.

The basilica stands on a ridge where, according to local records, an image of the Virgin Mary appeared, leading to its construction during medieval times.

The church serves as the final resting place for regional nobility, including the Marquesses of Muruzábal and Eguía, with Gothic stucco altarpieces displaying religious art.

Located along the Way of St James pilgrimage route, the basilica remains open to visitors and pilgrims throughout the year with guided tours available.

The architectural design combines Romanesque and Gothic elements, particularly visible in the north entrance and interior altarpiece decorations from different periods.
