Asem Navarro's "Casilda" Mural Rises Over Briviesca's Former Jail

A mural measuring 150 square metres, depicting Briviesca's patron saint "Casilda," now embellishes the wall of a residential building in La Taconera. Created by Asem Navarro (Juan Navarro Peña), this artwork was finalized in July 2026 after securing victory in Briviesca's inaugural La Bureba mural competition. Navarro represents Casilda as a youthful figure, diverging from conventional religious depictions. The mural's placement is meaningful, as Casilda is believed to have delivered food to prisoners, adjacent to the former municipal jail. Features such as wheat and flowers allude to her story, while her attire showcases both Arab and Castilian styles. Navarro dedicated several days to research and spent a week painting with enamel-based aerosol paint, resulting in a striking portrait tied to local heritage.
