Logroño - Santa María del Palacio

The church of Santa María del Palacio, on the banks of the Ebro, is a relic of the palace of Alfonso VII, which he presented to the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre in 1130. The most striking feature of the church, which was much altered in the 16th century is the 45m/150ft high spire over the crossing, the Aguja del Palacio. It has a fine high altar by pupils of Berruguete.
