Historic District

The historic center of Ujué is a medieval labyrinth of cobblestone streets and masonry houses that climb the hill. Its ashlar facades and corbelled lintels evoke a unique stately past. Highlights include jewels such as the Casa Prioral, the Casa Iriarte Mayor and the houses on Villeta Street, with their original windows that keep intact the defensive character of this Navarrese village.

Church-fortress of Santa María

The Church-Fortress of Santa María is the soul of Ujué. This imposing bastion fuses Romanesque apses with a central nave of Navarrese Gothic. Protected by walls and crenellated towers such as the Cuatro Vientos and Los Picos, the church houses a valuable 12th century carving of the Virgin Mary. It is a masterful example of medieval defensive and religious architecture.

This building stands out for its defensive elements, such as the arrow slits, combined with the elegance of its large corbels and balconies. Its structure reflects the medieval majesty of Ujué and the historical importance of the town as a royal residence in Navarre.
