Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Estella-Lizarra

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a cultural property located on the old Pilgrims’ Street in the borough of San Martín in Estella-Lizarra, Navarre, Spain. The construction took place with periods of inactivity between the 12th and the 16th centuries, but was ultimately left unfinished. As was customary at the time, the building began with the apse, where a Romanesque structure is still preserved. However, the most active period of construction occurred in the 14th century, to which the southern facade belongs. Particularly noteworthy is the Gothic portal, featuring sculptures of exceptional quality, especially in the tympanum, the capitals, and the upper gallery, where a group of apostles is depicted in fully rounded sculptures. In 1821, works were carried out to adapt it as a parish church, where worship continued until 1881, when it was permanently closed due to the depopulation of the neighborhood. By decree of June 3, 1981, the building was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural.
