Churches of Alta Zuberoa.

the Somport and Roncesvalles passes, another route allows you to cross the Pyrenees, that of the Saison valley. After stopping at the hospital of San Juan de Berraute, the pilgrim arrived in Tardets and found another hospital in Sorholus where he could take refuge. There was also a Romanesque church from the s. XI, which was burned by Montgommery's soldiers during the religious wars. In Alta Zuberoa, in the Tardets region, there are other Romanesque churches wholly or in part: those of Alos (Romanesque apse and head), of Camou, of Alay (Romanesque choir), of Alabhty and (Romanesque tympanum with crism) and that of Sunhar, with its Romanesque nave topped by a semicircular apse. After Tardets, on the road that leads to Santa Engracia and Larrau, the pilgrim still found two Romanesque churches, those of Laguinge and Haux. The first, San Sebastián de Laguinge, preserves a nave, a semicircular apse and capitals with Romanesque palmettes; that of San Juan Bautista de Haux is endowed with a portico with mutilated chrismon and a checkered archivolt.
