It is located at Plaza de la Cava, 1, in the town center of Marcilla (Navarra), easily accessible and surrounded by bars and a children's playground. This 15th-century Gothic fortress was built of brick on a stone foundation by Mosén Pierres de Peralta, with material and financial support from Charles III the Noble. It served both as a defensive stronghold and as a palatial residence for the Marquesses of Falces, descendants of Peralta. In 1516, the Marchioness Ana de Velasco saved the castle from being demolished by order of Cardinal Cisneros.

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 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.

Read by In the mood to travel: “Giant stone egg open. What looks like Obelix's menhir served as the palace's refrigerator more than half a millennium ago. During the winter, ice and snow were collected in the eight meter deep excavation inside, pressed and covered with straw as insulating material. The snow masses remained frozen until summer. This preservation option was of enormous value in medieval times. Especially if historical documents are to be believed, according to which no fewer than 120 chickens, 2 calves, 10 piglets, 10 rabbits, 15 pounds of bacon and 3 hams fell victim to a royal court feast.”

One of the most beautiful castles I have ever visited.

Marcilla is most famous for its castle, but there are also other very interesting places to visit, such as the Church of San Bartolomé, the Virgen del Plu, the Monastery of Santa Maria and its small streets and squares.

The most famous building in Marcilla has to be its 15th century Gothic-style castle. It is the center of the town and around it you will find bars and cafes.
