オリテのおすすめライド

Very cool to go up to the church, the town is beautiful!

Originally a Roman fortress in a strategic location, the fortress is both a castle and a palace, although it was originally built as a court building to fulfil a military function. Since the 13th century, the Castle of Olite has been called the Palace of the King of Navarre.

wrong name - the Romanesque church is called Santa María de Eunate

Santa María de Eunate is a Romanesque church on the Aragonese branch of the Way of St. James in Navarre. The church was built at the end of the 12th century in the Romanesque style with Mozarabic influences. The octagonal design is a reference to the Templars. There used to be a hospice here that belonged to the Order of St. John and today it is a hostel for pilgrims.

The castle palace of Olite served as the residence of the kings of Navarre until the union of Navarre with Castile in the 16th century. The complex has been a listed monument since 1925.

The Sanctuary of Santa María de Ujué was built on the site of an 11th-century Romanesque church, although written evidence from the 10th century was found of the previous existence of a pre-Romanesque temple on the same site. The church was declared a National Monument by ministerial decree of 26 June 1936.

One of the few octagonal churches in the world, belonging to the Templars.

There is something magical about this place
