A royal monastery of the 11th century (the church was consecrated in 1052) that holds the pantheon of the kings of Nájera-Pamplona; the present Gothic church, of 1422 to 1453, predates these years, and this card covers its dated parts. The cloister of the Knights was built between 1517 and 1528, with an upper cloister of 1578; the Royal Staircase bears the date 1594 and the church porch was made between 1621 and 1625. The Renaissance tombs of the royal pantheon date from about 1556, and the Gothic choir stalls from 1493 to 1495.
