Santa Criz, Roman archaeological site in Eslava, Spain

The archaeological site spans across 13 hectares on Santa Criz hill at 544 meters above sea level, near the confluence of Aragon and Indusi rivers.

The site evolved from a pre-Roman settlement to a Roman civitas after 195 BC when Roman armies established contact with a fortified Basque settlement.

The necropolis at Santa Criz reveals funeral practices from the first centuries CE, including cremation rituals similar to those found in Andalusia and Aragon.

Located 55 kilometers from Pamplona via the A-21 highway, visitors can request guided tours by contacting santacrizdeeslava@gmail.com.

The archaeological complex contains the remains of a forum and necropolis, making it the largest preserved Roman city in Navarra.
