Stones that tell stories
Navarra is a land of contrasts where every village guards centuries of history within its walls. From medieval fortresses dominating the valleys to Romanesque churches hidden along pilgrimage routes, the cultural heritage of this region invites a fascinating journey through time.
The Camino de Santiago crosses Navarra leaving in its wake an artistic and spiritual legacy of incalculable value. Romanesque bridges, pilgrim hospitals turned into museums and collegiate churches with cloisters that are true architectural jewels. Each visit is a living history lesson that enriches the spirit and awakens curiosity.
Must-see places
Castle of Olite
The Royal Palace of Olite was considered one of the most luxurious in Europe. Its towers, galleries and hanging gardens transport you to the splendour of the 15th-century Navarrese court.
Monastery of Iranzu
Nestled in a deep valley, this 12th-century Cistercian monastery preserves a Gothic church and a transitional Romanesque-to-Gothic cloister of extraordinary beauty.
Pamplona
The Navarrese capital offers a monumental old town, the Cathedral with its Gothic cloister, the medieval walls and a lively cultural life. A stroll through the Plaza del Castillo is a must.
