Originally a Roman fortress in a strategic location, the fortress is both a castle and a palace, although it was originally built as a court building to fulfil a military function. Since the 13th century, the Castle of Olite has been called the Palace of the King of Navarre.

From Ujué there is a beautiful view towards the south down to the Ribera de Navarra, the wide valley of the river Ebro. In between there are mountains on whose slopes wine is grown. The small town is a stop on the Ruta del Vino, which leads through the wine-growing regions of Navarre.
