Meet the Royal Palace of Olite, the palace of the King of Navarre and surround yourself with the history of this region. Being the Royal headquarters during the Middle Ages, the thick walls and crenelated towers of the palace housed kings and princesses. Declared a national monument in 1925, it is the most important example of the civil gothic of Navarre and one of the most notable in Europe.
A tour of the narrow rustic village of Olite will allow you to walk in the shelter of noble stone mansions with ancient coats of arms, medieval galleries and splendid churches, in addition to discovering the Roman walled area. Lost on top of a plateau, without rivers that cool it or trees that shelter it, in apparent loneliness stands Ujué, a beautiful medieval town of narrow streets that run steep slopes to conclude, high up, before the Sanctuary-Fortress of Saint Mary of Ujué. Ujué is one of the main places of worshipping in Navarre and also a spectacular viewpoint over the Pyrennees mountain range and the plains regions nearby.
The Sanctuary, a national monument, is one of the most important manifestations of medieval architecture in Navarra, and the protagonist of a beautiful legend.
