Welcome to the San Miguel in Excelsis Sanctuary,

a place where Heaven and Earth meet through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel. These are grounds where faith, spirituality, art and history go hand in hand to create a unique place full of tradition and legend.

We invite you to learn more about the sanctuary with this exhibition.

It will enable you to travel across Europe, discovering the importance of the devotion to Saint Michael; you will also find one of the greatest treasures of medieval goldsmithing and will learn first-hand about the origin of the effigy of San Miguel de Aralar.

Are you coming with us?
