The Royal Palace or Palace of the Kings of Navarre is a castle-palace in the town of Olite/Erriberri. It was one of the seats of the Court of the Kingdom of Navarre, since the reign of Charles III "the Noble" (1361-1425) until its conquest by Castile (1512). The fortification is both castle and palace, although it was built more like a courtier building to fulfil a military function. Since the 13th-century the Castle of Olite has been called the Palace of the King of Navarre. This monument was quite damaged (except the church) in 1813 by a fire caused during the Napoleonic French Invasion to prevent its occupation by French troops. It was largely restored from 1937 in works that lasted for 30 years giving it back its original appearance.
