La Barranca Salada
The space where Cesare Borgia died in the vicinity of Viana.
At dawn from March 11th to 12th, 1507, Garcés de Ágreda, Pedro de Allo and Jimeno Garcés, three soldiers of the count of Lerín, who have managed to flee from the besieged castle of Viana, are pursued by a knight who has separated from his troops recklessly. In the Barranca Salada they ambushed him in which Garcés de Ágreda ran him through with his spear. The unknown gentleman is Cesare Borgia.
The soldiers from Beamonte strip him of his rich armor and leave him completely naked, or almost because one of the many chroniclers who has dealt with the episode writes: "They gave modesty the shelter of a reddish tile when it broke."
This is how his subordinates found him shortly after and transferred him to the church of Santa María in Viana, where the funerals were held.
In the vicinity of Viana, on the side of the highway from Logroño to Pamplona, there is this space where it is recognized that the fateful outcome that ended the life of Cesare Borgia took place.
