It was created in the 10th century as a fortress for the people of Navarre and together with the Davalillo castle it formed a line of defence. The town inherited the chains depicted on the shield from the kingdom of Navarre, which was the ruling power.
Easter: The Medieval «Picaos» tradition. Since the 16th century, the Vera Cruz Guild has organised traditional processions and flagellations during Easter, on Holy Thursday and Good Friday, during the Cruz de Mayo spring festivities and in September.
The most important of these is the «picaos» procession, which is when the guild's penitents whip themselves in public. This is an ancient tradition that has not been seen in the rest of Spain for centuries. The ritual begins at the feet of the image of La Dolorosa. The penitents take off their grey capes and begin to flog their naked backs using a whip made of cotton rope. Guild members then prick their backs with glass so that they bleed.
-Surrounding area: The 11th century Romanesque Basilica of Santa María de la Piscina. The single nave in this church leads to a semi-circular apse. It was founded in 1088 by prince Ramiro. According to legend, Ramiro took part in the taking of Jerusalem and entered the city through the Pool of Bethesda, where he found an image of the Virgin and brought it back to Navarre. He ordered this church to be built in her honour and it was given her name. The villages of Peciña and Rivas de Tereso, forests and hiking.
