History

A priory dependent on the Premonstratensian house of Lahonce. It was a waypoint for pilgrims on the Santiago de Compostela.

No trace of the priory or its church survives today, although a small statue of the Virgin and Child, the Vierge de Biakorri, stands on the spot traditionally said to be the location of the priory.
