La Torre

La Torre

Situado a unos 60 kilómetros de Pamplona, y 10 de Olite, Santacara es un pequeño pueblo con alrededor de 1.000 habitantes, donde se han encontrado numerosos hallazgos arqueológicos. Resulta curioso desde la lejanía ver La Torre, única parte de lo que fue un castillo que hoy en día es el orgullo de sus habitantes. La Torre de Santacara, observa gran parte del valle de Aragón y está situada en un lugar estratégico desde donde se podía divisar el castillo de Mélida, Rada, la iglesia-fortaleza de Caparroso, la iglesia-fortaleza de Ujué... En el año 2010 comenzaron las obras de restauración de la torre así como el acondicionamiento de la zona con unas escaleras de acceso. Queda pendiente la iluminación de la torre, a ver si no tardan mucho. En el 2012 fue incluido por el Departamento de Cultura y Turismo de Gobierno de Navarra en la Ruta de los Castillos y Fortalezas de Navarra, donde se podían realizar visitas guiadas gratuitas a los lugares más emblemáticos de Navarra. En la cercanía las ruinas de la ciudad romana de Cara. En Mélida hay un bonito mirador desde donde se puede divisar Santacara.
Located about 60 kilometers from Pamplona, ​​and 10 Olite, Santacara is a small town with about 1,000 inhabitants, which found numerous archaeological finds. It is curious from afar see La Torre, only part of what was once a castle today is the pride of its inhabitants. Santacara Tower, seen much of the valley of Aragon and is situated in a strategic location from where you could see the castle of Melida, Rada, the fortified church of Caparroso church-fortress of Ujue ... In 2010 began the restoration of the tower and reclamation of the area with access stairs. There remains the lighting of the tower, to see if it does not take long. In 2012 it was included by the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Government of Navarre in the Route of the Castles and Fortresses of Navarra, where you could make free tours to the most important places of Navarre. In the nearby ruins of the Roman city of Side. In Mélida there is a nice viewpoint from where you can see Santacara.
