At the eastern end of this road, on the corner of C/ Travieso Palacio, is the Iglesia de Santa María del Palacio, built in the 12th century over the site of a royal palace. Check out the interesting tambour, a local landmark known as La Aguja (The Needle). At the opposite end of this road is the Iglesia de Santiago, a rather boorish 16th-century construct. The ever-interesting sculpture of Santiago Matamoros (St. James the Moor Slayer) above the portal breathes some life into this regular pilgrim stop, in which the devout pay homage to the image of Logroño’s patroness, Our Lady of Hope.
