Once a gem on the banks of the Aragon River

The village of Javier is located east of the castle, where San Francisco de Javier was born in the 16th century. The current center of the small village was built in 1960 to house residents who lived in the old buildings next to the castle, which were subsequently demolished. In front of the village hall there is a modern bronze sculpture by the artist Francisco Aizcorbe. In addition to the castle, the village has other attractions, such as the 18th-century Parish Church of Anunciación, which contains the holy water font where Francisco de Javier was baptized. The church has a Romanesque statue of the Virgin Mary above the altar. Near Javier, on the banks of the Aragon River, you will find the ruins of a medieval mill. Also worth visiting is El Castelar, the highest point of the village, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the entire area. #4月好去处2025 #西班牙旅行 #娜瓦拉
