  It
would be impossible to name here all
of the chapels in the Pyrenees: The
most noteworthy are: Orreaga-Roncesvalles,
Muskilda in Otsagabia, Zuberoa in Garde,
San Esteban in Ugarra, Trinidad in Lumbier,
Basagaitz in Esteribar, Santa Quiteria
in Igüezal, Virgen de las Nieves
in Irati, San Quirico in Navascués,
San Miguel in Mezkiritz, San Joaquín
in Aribe, Magdalena in Luzaide-Valcarlos… |
| 
They each have their own particular
characteristics. The best examples
of rural Navarrese Romanesque are
Santa María in Arce and Santa
María del Campo in Navascues.
The Santa Fe complex in Urraul Alto,
with its restored cloister and granary,
is also of great beauty. Usun enjoys
an incomparable setting and is one
of Navarre's first monasteries, with
documents dating from the IX. There
is the charming, tiny, Romanesque
chapel of San Sebastián in
Vidangoz.  Quasi
churches in villages themselves: San
Salvador in Urzainki, Santa Magdalena
in Ezkaroz and Nuestra Señora
del Castillo in Roncal. Or historical
remnants, such as the chapel of the
Castle of Burgui, the only reminder
of the village’s great mediaeval
castle.
These are just a few examples, many
are left unnamed, but they all offer
art, history and splendid views of
the landscape, such as San Miguel
in Izaga.
