Oña is remarkable village since the times
of Fernán González, it grew under the protection
of the monastery of San Salvador and the grace of the monarchs.
In addition to the arch of Estrella, the fortified walls, and
the church of San Juan, it is worth a visit the church of San
Salvador, which still has some Romanesque windows, and a Gothic-Mudejar
arch. The interior is richly ornamented, specially the royal pantheon,
where lie the remains of Sancho el Mayor of Navarre and Sancho
García. A historic play called "El Cronicón de Oña"
is staged there in the summer.
