Best Places in Navarre (Spain)

On the border with France in the north of Spain lies the old kingdom of Navarre, one of the smallest autonomous communities in the country. Its history was shaped by the region’s close border location. Navarre is home to numerous medieval towns worth visiting, such as the 900-year-old town of Estella with its historic town center and the Palace of the Kings of Navarre from the 12th century, the only Romanesque secular building still standing in the province today. Also worth seeing are the medieval towns of Tudela, Olite with the former royal palace Palacio Real de Olite, the town of Artajona, whose old town center has been classified as a cultural asset, and Roncesvalles, an important stop on the famous Way of St. James. The silhouette of the crenellated castle of Javier rises some 500 meters above sea level. The town also boasts the parish church of La Anunciación, which houses the baptismal font of Francisco de Javier. Los Argos is home to a richly decorated church dating from the 12th to 18th centuries and a French aqueduct that also serves as a viaduct. Famous for its controversial bullfights, Pamplona is a city steeped in tradition, whose sights include magnificent 18th century buildings, the cathedral and the medieval city wall. Pamplona becomes internationally famous every July with the San Fermín festival, during which the bull runs take place, and attracts numerous visitors. Navarre offers an impressive variety of historical and cultural treasures. The combination of picturesque landscapes, cities steeped in history and unique architecture makes the region a fascinating destination. #navarre #spain #bestplaces
