Sightseeing in Logroño - what to see. Complete travel guide

If we head to the past of Logrono, we will find ourselves in a Roman settlement called Vareia. For centuries, the settlement was developing and growing in size, turning into one of the major centers of trade. In the 10th century, the king of Navarre engaged in a fight with the ruler of Castile for the right to own this land. After a long and exhausting fight, Castile rulers became the winners. In 1095, King Alfonso VI published a new set of rules that formalized laws for all cities and provinces of Spain.
The Co-cathedral of Santa María de la Redonda is the symbol of the Spanish city. This is also the main religious attraction of the region. Nowadays, guests of the hospitable Spanish city are welcome to visit the gorgeous historic shrine and see works of the famous Belgian painter who was working in Logrono in the sixteenth century. The church is decorated with beautifully made images of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Besides them, there are drawings of local saints and numerous scenes that illustrate the life and deeds of Saint Francis.

The church built as an addition to the Chapel of Virgin Mary is one more scared place in Logrono that is worth visiting. It is situated not far from the emperor’s palace, the place where King Alfonso VII lived. It took a century to build the sacred shrine. The construction works started in the 12th century. Several years later, the church was expanded by adding new parts of the building. The church underwent a global reconstruction in the 18th century.

Are you interested in modern art? There is an interesting thematic museum in the suburbs of Logrono. It was founded by a German person Reinhold Würth. The museum is named after him. The museum’s building is made of glass and looks nothing but impressive. The opening of the Reinhold Wurth Museum took place in 2007. Since that time, the venue has been attracting thousands of modern at connoisseurs from different parts of the world. The collection features the works of many talented Spanish masters and thousands of artworks. Gravures, paintings, sculptures, photographs – all of them are from the private collection of the founder. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum regularly hosts temporary exhibitions of talented masters.
