Located at 50 kilometres from Pamplona and 16 from Sangüesa the foot of the mountain range that gives it its name, the monastery of Leire contains magnificent treasures such as an 11th-century crypt, a Gothic church vault and the Porta Speciosa, a beautiful Romanesque portico from the 12th century.

There is an atmosphere of peace and serenity that calms the spirit and helps you to reflect and be at peace with yourself. The austere architecture expresses a large part of history, culture, art and thought in its walls and wonderful natural surroundings invite you to walk and meditate. As well as all this, moving Gregorian chants and conversations with the Benedictine monks are some of the things that will stay in your mind after a visit to the monastery of San Salvador de Leire.

One of the most attractive and enchanting monuments in Navarre. It is the tomb of most of the ancient monarchs of Navarre, and every year in summer it is home to the award ceremony for the Príncipe de Viana prize, whose patron is Prince Felipe of Spain.
