Vitoria-Gasteiz - Basílica de San Prudencio (PiP)
The Basilica of San Prudencio is located in Armentia on the southwestern outskirts of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
According to legend, Saint Prudentius was born here in the 6th century. In the 9th century, Armentia was a bishopric until it was transferred to Calahorra in 1087. The Basilica of San Prudencio then became the collegiate church of a canon's monastery, which existed until 1498. It was then that the canons gave up San Prudencio to settle in Vitoria.
The current church of San Prudencio was built towards the end of the 12th century. Between 1773 and 1776 the church underwent major changes. The south facade was demolished and the porch was built. Parts of the church's original sculptural decoration were embedded in the walls of this south porch.
This image can often be found along the pilgrimage routes. A man on horseback rides over a man on the ground. This may represent Emperor Constantine or St. James, but scholars are not sure.
