Here is the famous
Puenta la Reina, Queens bridge, photographed from the modern bridge nearby.
Puenta la Reina is said to be one of Europe's most graceful Romanesque
bridges. No one knows precisely which one of the two queens of Navarrain in
the 11th century, doña Estefania or doña Mayor commissioned
to build this bridge, but it came to great need to pilgrim's and other passengers. River
Arga is here too deep to ford, and before the bridge the river had to be crossed by numerous
ferries who exploited all the travellers.
