Olite/Erriberri, Medieval castle town in Navarre, Spain

The town spreads across 83 square kilometers of hillside terrain, featuring narrow stone streets that connect to the central palace complex.

King Suintila established the settlement of Oligicus in 621 as a strategic point to maintain control over the local Vascones population.

The Medieval Festival in August transforms the streets with artisans, merchants, and performers recreating life from the Middle Ages.

Visitors can access the Royal Palace daily, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the municipal tourism office.

The Royal Palace contains 13 towers and three levels of galleries, making it one of the largest castle complexes in Navarre.
