EDITORS COMMENTS
Monasterio de Santa Maria la Real, also known as the Royal Pantheon of Najera, is a stunning Renaissance-style architectural masterpiece located in the Spanish region of La Rioja. Built around 1556, this monumental structure serves as the royal pantheon and burial site for various monarchs of the Kingdom of Navarre and the Crown of Castile. The most prominent tomb in the pantheon is that of King Bermudo III of Leon (1080-1110), located at the center of the main chapel. The king's burial urn, made of white stone, houses a recumbent figure of the monarch, dressed in royal attire and adorned with a crown. The epitaph on the tomb reads, "Here lies Bermudo, King of Leon, the Just, the Victorious, and the Merciful." The intricately carved tombs of other personages, also featuring reclining figures with their respective attributes, can be found throughout the pantheon. These tombs serve as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the region during the Middle Ages and the Modern Age. The Monasterio de Santa Maria la Real is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Spanish history, art, and architecture. The intricate stone carvings, ornate decorations, and peaceful atmosphere of the monastery offer a glimpse into the grandeur and splendor of the Spanish royalty of the past. The Monastery of Santa Maria la Real, with its impressive collection of royal tombs, stands as a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage. The pantheon's peaceful and serene atmosphere invites visitors to reflect on the lives of the kings and queens who once ruled the Kingdom of Navarre and the Crown of Castile.
