Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro, Romanesque church along the French Way in Torres del Río, Spain

Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro is a church with an octagonal structure and a central dome supported by eight intersecting arches. These arches form an intricate star pattern across the ceiling that defines the entire interior space.

The church was built between 1160 and 1170, probably by the Knights Templar as a funerary chapel, and its octagonal plan is linked to its dedication to the Holy Sepulchre. It was first brought to scholarly attention in 1914 through a publication by the Bulletin of the Commission of Historical and Artistic Monuments of Navarre. It was declared a Monumento Histórico-Artístico in 1931 and restored in 1960–1964 and again in 1993 for the Jacobean Holy Year.

The interior displays Arabic influences in its vault patterns, created through collaboration between Christian builders and Mudéjar craftsmen. This blend of styles reflects how different religious communities worked together in this region.

The church sits along the N-111 road connecting Estella and Logroño and is easy to reach. It serves as a recognizable stop for pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago, and visitors can see it directly from the main route.

On the tympanum above the south entrance stands the patriarchal cross of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a detail many visitors walk past. Inside, the main apse holds a large Gothic crucifix. The octagonal lantern on the eight-sloped roof reproduces the body of the church in miniature.
