THE VILLAGE
The village of Laguardia, cradle of kings and poets, was built on the ruins of Biasteri, an old walled village in the region of Basque country which was founded by the Navarrese King Sancho Abarca.
A castle dominates the town, and part of La Rioja region can be seen from its walls.
The legend tells that the Moors and Castilians could not conquer the village due to the presence of the towers and walls. Laguardia remains a walled village with many castles that were the residences of ancient kings.
This noble fortified village originally had four access gates in its walls: that of Páganos, Mercadel, San Juan and Santa Engracia. In the sixteenth century a fifth gate was added: that of the Caniceros (butchers).
The alleys in Laguardia are full of churches worthy of being visited. These include San Juan, which was first Romanesque, then Gothic, then Baroque and finally Neoclassical as well as the church of Santa María de los Reyes, which has one of the most beautiful stone porticos (doors) of the 14th century. It belonged to the Order of the Temple.
It is very much worthwhile wandering around Laguardia, with its core of medieval origins offering an undoubted artistic and historical interest. In addition, Laguardia offers opportunity to visit one of its many wineries within the village itself and to taste and acquire some of its magnificent wines. We warmly await your visit.
