Church of Saint Mary of Eunate

Its octagonal plan and the fact that it is not located in a present-day village or town but in the countryside contribute to its enigmatic nature.

It presents the typical architectural features of the European Romanesque art (dressed-stone masonry, robust walls, semicircular arches, little windows made of alabaster, etc.)

This structure is very similar to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre of Torres del Río, Navarre, 55 km far from Eunate and also on the Way of Saint James.

The church is a hermitage dedicated to the Virgin Mary and people from all of the Valdizarbe valley celebrate a traditional romería there.

This alleged Templar origin and the aura of mystery that surrounds the church have contributed to esoteric interpretations.
