Olite - Iglesia de San Pedro

A settlement may have existed here during Roman times, later the Visigoths "refounded" the place. In 1147 Olite was given a "Fuero de los francos de Estella". Obviously the Franks, that had settled in Estella (40kms northwest) to kick-start the pilgrim-business, had the jurisdication right here. The church of San Pedro is the oldest in town. Though altered and rebuilt many times , the facade still has some interesting Romanesque details.

The last stage of a deadly battle between a gigantic, evil dragon and a small knight. The winged dragon has cornered the knight - but in the last second, the dragon´s head gets speared. The knight might be Saint George, but he is mostly seen on horseback.
