Museum of Roncesvalles
Charlemagne’s chess set from the 14th century, in the Museum at Roncesvalles.
Religious art collection of the Real Colegiata (Collegiate Church) of Santa María (carvings, canvases, stamp collections, ancient books [both manuscripts and printed], and silversmithery, which is the most important section). We would highlight the Romanesque Silver Gospel stand (1200), a gilded chest with a Gothic-Mudejar filigree from the 13th century, the reliquary known as Charlemagne's Chess Set (mid 15th century), with a stamp of Montpellier, the emerald 'of Miramamolín' (a war trophy won by King Sancho 'el Fuerte' in the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa). In the section on painting we would mention the Triptych of Calvary, of the El Bosco school and the Sagrada Familia de San Juanito by Luis de Morales.
