Fitero is a magnificent example of Cistercian architecture within its town center. In 1152, the Cistercian Order settled in this riverside town and began construction of its Monastery of Santa María la Real. In its early years, the monastery had Saint Raymond, founder of the Military Order of Calatrava, as its first abbot, and the Castilian crown as its protector. Due to its strategic location on the border of the medieval kingdoms of Navarre and Castile, it was the subject of disputes until it was awarded to Navarre by papal decree. Of the impressive medieval monastic architectural heritage, three main elements remain: the Abbey Church, the Cloister, and the Chapter House.

The term "elera" is a Navarrese word used to describe an icehouse (a place where snow is stored and preserved). These icehouses were built to collect abundant snow in winter and store it as ice for sale in the summer. The first record of icehouses in Fitero dates back to 1614, the year the Soto icehouse was built. The San Valentín icehouse is the only one whose structure, consisting of a cylindrical well covered by a superimposed polygonal dome (16 sides), is still preserved today.

This is the cave that inspired Bécquer to write his legend "La Cueva de la Mora" (The Cave of the Moorish Woman), which tells a love story between a young Christian man and a young Moorish woman in this area. It is very easy to access and well signposted.

Great place for a break

Visiting it is doing a deep review of the history of art in Spain, since in its construction there are spaces where all the styles that have existed since the 12th century, the time when construction began, come together. It is a unique example of a Gothic cathedral with an exceptional Mudejar and Renaissance legacy. The Tarazona Cathedral was built in the French Gothic style, but it maintains magnificent examples of the Mudejar style, including a Gothic-Mudejar cloister.
