Saint Mary of Eunate

Saint Mary of Eunate
There is not much information about the origins of this wonderful, octogonal church. The church is isolated, as it was erected not in a village, but in the middle of fields.

The floorplan is surely inspired by the "Church of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem". Such churches (eg Tomar, Estrella, Pisa..) are often connected to the Knights Templar, but there no proof, that they have ever been in this area. The earliest documented reference is from 1487 and just mentions the "Virgin of Eunate".

It is a spectacular church, surrounded by arches, that for sure has served the pilgrims in the early days. As not much is known about the origins of this place, esoteric interpretations spread as well.
