Kingdom of Navarre. Land of diversity

The Walls of Artajona

Perfectly adapted to the profile of the small hill on which it stands, the Cerco (old walls) of Artajona offer the visitor the opportunity to enjoy the most important medieval fortification in the Central Zone of Navarre.

A stroll inside reveals an 11th-century walled town that originally had fourteen crenelated towers, although only nine of these remain, joined by the battlemented parapet. You reach the enclosure through one of the two old gates that are still conserved (San Miguel and Remahua), which take you back in time to the Middle Ages.

It is easy to imagine the place inhabited by monarchs, noblemen on horseback, minstrels, bishops and farm workers in heavy clothes. Relive the past and try and imagine what life was like in this place, crowned by the fortress-church of San Saturnino, a sold and imposing building from the 13th century that has been declared a Historical-Artistic Monument.
