| Olite is home of the Palace of the Kings of Navarre |
 |
| A Roman fort originally occupied the site. |
 |
| King Sancho VII of Navarre built on top of the fort in the 13th century. |
 |
| The castle fell into disrepair after Navarre was conquered by Castile in the 15th century. |
 |
| The Spanish Viceroy of Navarre lived there until the 1800s. |
 |
| The castle was intentionally destroyed by the Spanish during the Peninsular War. |
 |
| The Spanish started rebuilding it after the Spanish Civil War over 100 years later. |
 |
| Today the castle also houses a Parador, of course. |
