| Castle of Javier, the birthplace of San Francisco Javier (St Francis Xavier). The fortress stands on a rock outcrop 8 kilometres from Sangüesa in the Central Zone of Navarre. The origins of the castle go back to the end of the 10th century when a signal tower was built called la torre del Homenaje (Tribute Tower). Its strategic location on the border between the kingdoms of Navarre and Aragon reinforced its role as a fortress, and the different sections of the castle were gradually added on. A visit to the Castle of Javier
We start in the entrance hall, going through the main door to the castle, where you can see a stone relief with three shields separated by angels, representing the family coat of arms. We go through the stables and down into the basement, where the bodegas (wine cellars) used to be. |
