Monastery of San Salvador de Leyre (Yesa, Navarra)
Located amidst the Picos mountains, this 9th-century structure was built along one of the routes that leads to Santiago, the one coming from the towns of Berdún and Jaca. During the 10th century, when Arab Caliph Abderramán III organized a raid against the local kingdom of Pamplona, many civilians from the area found refuge in this monastery. The main church was consecrated In 1057 and features two very important pieces of Romanesque architecture: the sanctuary and the Western façade, which are separated by a large nave in Gothic style.
