Artistic legacy within everyone’s grasp t is impossible to get to grips with without taking into consideration the routes that the St James’ Way has traced across it. For centuries this spiritual and commercial route was the Commu- inity’s backbone and its influence is still alive today. The St James’ Way provides a singular histori- cal and artistic inheritance with its monuments, particularly Romanesque features, dotted along the route. The Archbishopric of and Tudela, the Department of Culture, Tourism and Institutional Relations and other Institutions involved with the route make it possible for pilgrims and tourists to visit and enjoy the monuments peppered along its length. They have all worked together so that people can pray and ad- mire the art in these 37 places of worship. These are a collection of churches and monasteries along the three routes crossing Navarre. The majority, 22, are found along the French Route, between Luzaide/Valcarlos and Viana, and 9 are found on the itinerary from the Aragonese , between Sangüesa and Viana. The Baz- tan route contributes the St Salvador Monastery in Urdax, the church of Santiago in Elizondo and the parish church of El Salvador in Irurita to this legacy, and Tudela’s and church of La Magdalena, and the church of San Juan de Jerusalén in , form part of the Route.
