Discover Gorraiz: Castle, Circular Routes and Golf

Gorraiz is home to Castillo de Gorraiz, a 16th-century palace. After a period of decline, it was recently restored and is now used as a restaurant. Its history is connected with the Battle of Noáin in 1521. Castillo de Gorraiz was built by Don Lanzarot de Gorraix after Carlos I awarded him nine thousand maravedís for his bravery.

The Iglesia de San Esteban is also part of the town’s historical heritage: the 16th-century church building was completely reconstructed. Gorraiz also has a city bus connection to Pamplona. Those wishing to compare cultural impressions and historical themes will find different points of reference here, from the palace to the church building.
