Fitero is a magnificent example of Cistercian architecture within its town center. In 1152, the Cistercian Order settled in this riverside town and began construction of its Monastery of Santa María la Real. In its early years, the monastery had Saint Raymond, founder of the Military Order of Calatrava, as its first abbot, and the Castilian crown as its protector. Due to its strategic location on the border of the medieval kingdoms of Navarre and Castile, it was the subject of disputes until it was awarded to Navarre by papal decree. Of the impressive medieval monastic architectural heritage, three main elements remain: the Abbey Church, the Cloister, and the Chapter House.

Perched atop a rocky outcrop, guarding passage over the Alhama River, stand the remains of a keep and a building with a vaulted roof. It was here that the Treaty of Tudilén was signed between the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon in 1151. It is located southeast of the Baths, on the right bank of the Alhama River. Remnants of its keep and some dwellings are still preserved. Its earliest records date from the 12th century, although it is believed to have been built during the period of Moorish occupation.

The term "elera" is a Navarrese word used to describe an icehouse (a place where snow is stored and preserved). These icehouses were built to collect abundant snow in winter and store it as ice for sale in the summer. The first record of icehouses in Fitero dates back to 1614, the year the Soto icehouse was built. The San Valentín icehouse is the only one whose structure, consisting of a cylindrical well covered by a superimposed polygonal dome (16 sides), is still preserved today.
