Opening Hours
A medieval fantasy in the castle of the Kings of Navarre
The Parador occupies what is called the Palacio Viejo or El Palacio de los Teobaldos, the oldest of the two that form the defensive-palace complex of the kings of Navarre, rebuilt by king Carlos III the Noble according to French design and aesthetics.
Its partner, the Palacio Nuevo, dates to the reconstruction of the 15th c. One of the first uses it was put to was the meeting of the royal court in the period of king Carlos. It was built on top of the original Roman praesidium, the remains of which can still be seen in the bases of the towers.
