Olite is particularly appreciated for its historic castle, a vestige of a sumptuous medieval era.
Olite Castle: a jewel of medieval architecture
The Royal Palace of Olite has been classified as a National Monument since 1925. It is undoubtedly the main attraction of the city.
This masterpiece of Gothic art was the summer residence of the kings of Navarre for many decades. Its towers, mullioned windows, coffered ceilings and interior courtyards transport you directly to the Middle Ages.
The old Palace is now transformed into a National Parador and forms part of the Olite Castle.
Also, don't miss the medieval underground galleries that once served as storerooms and a kitchen in the castle.A city rich in history and culture
Olite is not limited to its castle. The town also has beautiful monuments to discover such as the Gothic-style Santa Maria la Real church , modified in the 18th century.
Every year, Olite hosts an internationally renowned classical theatre festival.
