General information

Logroño is a city rich in history and traditions which have been preserved since the Middle Ages. The Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela made this one of the most important towns on the route, leaving an interesting monumental legacy closely linked to the traditional passing of the pilgrims.

Logrono was the "Vareia" of the Romans, quoted by old geography experts as a stop in the Via from Italia to Spain. The city still has a lot of ruins.

Sancho Abarca, king of Navarre, settle in the city to guarantee the access to the fields won by the Muslims in the battle of Clavijo. A new population settles on the other side of the river, the felt side. A palace for the kings of Navarre is built in 1044 in the rúa Vieja, the main street.

In 1095, la Rioja is in the hands of Alfonso VI, king of Castile. He granted Logrono a charter of rights in which it states the free circulation on the bridge.

In the XIII century, walls are built around the city. The castle will be demolished in the XVIII century.
