Olite is worth a visit!

The west façade of the Church of Santa María de Olite was restored between 2015 and 2017. The project, funded by the Government of Navarre and the Gondra Barandiarán Foundation, was ambitious and complex. It focused on its spectacular painted portal, built alongside the façade during the first third of the 14th century. The successive layers of polychromy had been preserved thanks to a large portico, removed at the end of the 19th century. It was necessary to clean all the elements, determine the causes of alteration, stabilize the existing damage, and protect the result to ensure its proper preservation. The work garnered the dedication and interest of specialists in architecture, restoration, archaeology, history, art, and viticulture. Thus, this necessarily multidisciplinary book was born. The portal of Santa María de Olite, in its most striking uniqueness, unites Christian iconography, art, and viticulture on a single plane, in a journey "from vine to stone," which is still understandable and coherent today.

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.

The church is attached to the Royal Palace and was used by the Navarrese monarchs for major festivals and ceremonial events. The palace had its own chapel dedicated to Saint George and a private, gated gallery dedicated to Saint Mary. Kingdom courts, baptisms, weddings and royal funerals took place here.

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.
