Ujué/Uxue, Medieval hilltop settlement in Navarre, Spain
The municipality sits atop a steep hill with stone houses and narrow streets connecting to the central fortress church of Santa María.
The medieval fortress church of Santa María, constructed in the 12th century, contains the preserved heart of Charles II of Navarre.
The town maintains strong Basque traditions, reflected in its dual naming as Ujué in Spanish and Uxue in the Basque language.
Visitors reach the town through winding mountain roads, with limited accommodation options available in the surrounding communities of Navarre.
The name originates from the Basque word for dove, connected to the discovery of a Virgin Mary statue by a shepherd following a dove.
