Santa María de Roncesvalles, Medieval wooden statue in Colegiata de Santa María, Roncesvalles, Spain

The Santa María de Roncesvalles statue stands 90 centimeters tall, crafted from wood and covered with silver details inside the Gothic collegiate church.

Created around 1400, this religious sculpture replaced an earlier statue after a fire destroyed the original Collegiate Church of Santa María.

The statue represents the Virgin Mary and receives numerous pilgrims traveling the French Way of the Camino de Santiago throughout the year.

The sculpture remains in its original location beneath a modern canopy in the main church, accessible during regular visiting hours of the Collegiate.

Local records tell of the statue's discovery following a deer with luminous stars, which led people to find it under an arch-shaped wall.

Inception: 14 century

Height: 90 cm

Made from material: wood, silver
