St. Francis Xavier Church
Nuevo Baztán
POI

The church was built to give legitimacy as a town to a group of buildings and, so that the new settled population could easily attend mass and receive the sacraments. Originally there was a small chapel inside the Palace but, due to the volume of the existing population, it became necessary to build an external chapel that was placed under the dedication of San Francisco Javier, once again demonstrating its Navarrese character, since San Francisco Javier is of Navarrese origin. The church is therefore very small in appearance, consisting of three naves covered by a barrel vault with lunettes, a well-proportioned transept and rectangular chancel. It will soon be overwhelmed by the growth of the population.
