Puente de la Rabia

The Puente de la Rabia spans across the Arga River with two stone arches and a central pillar measuring approximately 30 meters in length.

Built in the 14th century, this Gothic bridge formed part of the ancient Navarrese Way, connecting travelers on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.

Local traditions tell of the bridge's connection to Saint Kiteria, whose remains were found during construction and were believed to possess healing powers.

The bridge maintains its original limestone structure and continues to serve as a crossing point for both pedestrians and vehicles in the Esteribar region.

According to regional beliefs, animals affected by rabies could be cured by walking three times around the central column or passing underneath the structure.
