The Iglesia del Crucifijo in Puente la Reina is a fascinating historical monument deeply rooted in the history of the Camino de Santiago. Originally built in the 12th century by the Knights Templar, the church was later taken over by the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. The church consists of two different naves: a Romanesque one from the 12th century and a Gothic one that was added later. What makes this church really special is the impressive Gothic crucifix in the shape of a “Y”, one of the most remarkable Gothic sculptures in Spain.

This room allows every pilgrim to write down intercessions and prayers to place at the Jesus statue or write them in the prayer book. A simple, beautiful room that has preserved much of the old spirituality. Pilgrim station.

At the entrance to Puente la Reina is the Crucifix Church, an originally Romanesque church from the 12th century that once served as a place of worship for the Templar Order. Only the Romanesque portal was preserved when the current church was built in its place in the 15th century.
