Saint Francis of Assisi in Spain; The Knights Templar

Kay's Slideshow:



Fountain outside of Sanguesa, Spain dedicated to St. Francis where he is believed to have stopped on his pilgrimage. Ironically, a sign indicates that animals are not permitted.


Across the Valley from the fountain is the first Franciscan Monastery in Spain also founded by him on the pilgrimage.


Mysterious in origin, this octagonal church outside of Obados is believed to have been founded by the Knights Templar.


Beautifully maintained church of Santa Maria in Sanguesa with art dating from the 9th to 15th century. I lit candles for all of those on the "Camino" prayer list and for all of you who put them there.


Church in Torres del Rio with octagonal layout and lantern, which may also have also been founded by the Knights.
