CHARLEMAGNE'S SILO

CHARLEMAGNE'S SILO

This 12th-century chapel in Roncesvalles is venerated by pilgrims and commemorates the fallen Franks.
The Chapel of the Holy Spirit, also known as Charlemagne's Silo, stands as the oldest building in Roncesvalles, dating back to the 12th century. Tradition holds that the emperor built the structure to house the Franks who died in Roncesvalles, and pilgrims have honoured the site for centuries.
