The law · Sajazarra

As you walk through the town and look for its ancient entrance door, you discover the imposing jurisdictional roll, a symbol of the power and justice that was exercised there. In this place, laws were proclaimed and sentences were executed. These rolls, typical of towns with full jurisdiction, indicated whether the authority was royal, stately, council or ecclesiastical. Sajazarra, under the Privilege of Population granted by Alfonso VIII, established a council responsible for maintaining the walls, thus initiating a key stage in its history as a manorial town.
