Roncesvalles is a small village located in northern Spain. Over the centuries, this small village in the Pyrenees has been a place of many multicultural and religious encounters. Also, It has been the site of some relevant historical events.
One of the best known was the Battle of Roncesvalles, where the army of the Roman Emperor Charlemagne was ambushed and defeated by the Basque hordes. Battle that is recounted in the famous poem “La Chanson de Roland”.
The relationship of Roncesvalles with the Camino de Santiago dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time it became an important center of pilgrimage and rest for pilgrims traveling from France and other European countries.
