The church of Santa Eulalia of Merida

Like all traditional villages, Agés also has its own church, a temple in which it is said that the remains of King García of Navarre were buried in 1054. The present church was built at the end of the century, and in the 18th century it was renovated. The building has a tower, which was restored in 1757. Because of the antiquity and history of the building it is a very interesting stop in this village. It has a Greek cross floor plan, ashlar masonry stone and ribbed vault. The façade of the church is late Gothic and the impressive belfry, built on the western wall, dates from the 18th century.
