THE BARDENAS REALES

OLITE’S CASTLE

Olite’s Royal palace or Olite’s Castle is a construction of the XIIIth and XIVth century. It was one of the headquarters of the Court of the Kingdom of Navarre from the reign of Carlos III. It was considered to be one of the most luxurious castles of the old European continent. Due to this, it was chosen as the first medieval marvel of Spain.

In 1813, during the War of Independence, the palace was almost completely destroyed by fire.  However, the Statutory deputation of Navarre acquired the building and began its restoration.

Nowadays, every summer it is the headquarters of the Festival of Olite’s Classic Theatre.

OUR LADY OF THE YUGO HERMITAGE

Tradition tells us that the hermitage was built in the same place where a vision of  Mary appeared to a peasant. It is is located 5 km from the village and possesses  extraordinary views of Bardenas Reales’s Nature reserve. Few more agreeable experiences exist than a late afternoon visit to the Hermitage of the Yugo.
