Irache Monastery (Estella). Merry monk
these days has been found in the town of Burgos Caleruega what could be the oldest winery de la Ribera del Duero. It is considered likely to correspond to the ones documented in 1179 was the king of Castile, Alfonso VIII, this would make them a rare example of civil Romanesque building. Some have speculated that it is of Roman origin, linked to the nearby city of Clunia, but this seems more forced.
The warehouse was used until the forties, when they blocked the entrance, but it was not until his "rediscovery" on September 1 when he has given the value probably is. It consists of a barrel vaulted access which leads to a ship carved into the rock with niches for the barrels.

Caleruega has more Roman heritage, the stately tower, now part of Dominican convent of the Mother is one of the few truly Romance of the province, and is considered the birthplace of Santo Domingo de Guzmán. For its part, the parish church is also basically Romanesque, highlighting his sober cover and tower archaic aspect.
