CRESCENT DOOR · Briones (EN)

Of the six original doors of La Villa only two are preserved. One is the one in which we find ourselves, the access of the same is in the SO door of the Half Moon or of the Conception, giving exit of the street of the same name. The access is a semicircular arch, with an image of the Immaculate Conception from the XVI century in a niche inside the street, being the Immaculate Conception the patron saint of Briones. It is documented that by the year 1236 all the walls and gates to the town were already built, being very likely its construction around 1076, after the capture of La Rioja by Alfonso VI of Castile.
