Explore Spain’s Oldest Monastic Complexes

One of Spain’s oldest, most iconic, and best-preserved monastic complexes. Its origins date back to the 9th century, when it became one of the most influential spiritual centers of the ancient Kingdom of Pamplona-Navarre.

“Discover Navarra’s two greatest treasures: the impressive Javier Castle, a spectacular medieval fortress and spiritual landmark, and the serene Monastery of Leyre, an architectural masterpiece surrounded by the beauty of the Leyre Mountains.

At Javier, you will explore the walls of this 10th-century castle, the birthplace of Saint Francis Xavier. Don’t miss the striking Dance of Death mural or the Basilica, which remains an important pilgrimage destination to this day.

Next, step back in time with a visit to the Benedictine Monastery of Leyre, the former royal pantheon of the Kings of Navarre. Marvel at its exceptionally well-preserved Romanesque crypt and majestic façade. An unforgettable stop that combines the power of medieval military history with a profound spiritual legacy.”
