Beautiful Church located next to the Parador del Olite. Its recently restored Gothic façade stands out. Its main altarpiece represents different scenes from the life of Jesus with Renaissance paintings with Flemish influences. A beautiful set that you should not miss if you visit the city of Olite

The church is attached to the castle, it is an example of Gothic in Navarre, it was used by the Navarrese monarchs for the great festivities and most solemn events. On January 17, 1925 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. Its impressive Bell Tower stands out. The church is Gothic in style and its construction lasted from the 12th century to the beginning of the 14th century. In front of the main door of the church (which we could not see as it was being restored), there is an original atrium free of Gothic arches. We were lucky enough to be able to see its interior for free since they were celebrating a mass. The High Altar has an impressive Renaissance altarpiece presided over by Gothic carvings of the Virgin and the Christ of the Good Death. The photos are from November 2015.

Beautiful 12th century church with an impressive altarpiece. The price of the visit is €2 and it is worth it. The facade is very beautiful

The Church of Santa María de Olite is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Navarra. Its artistic beauty is as interesting as its history. Attached to the Royal Palace, the favorite residence of King Charles III the Noble, it was used by the Navarrese monarchs for great festivities and solemn events. Its ornate façade, in which the influence of the Notre Dame de Paris workshops can be perceived, will make you stop and pay attention to the stories on the cover. Inside the temple, with a single nave, a Renaissance altarpiece presided over by a Gothic carving of the Virgin and the image, also Gothic, of the Christ of the Good Death await you.
