Archaeological Site of Saint Nicholas Hermitage

A Journey to the Pyrenees in Spain - Navarre Autonomous Community This building was constructed around the 13th century using stone and features pointed arches. Several pointed arch windows with cylindrical mullions and decorative capitals have been preserved. The site includes a picturesque courtyard where the archaeological remains of Saint Nicholas Hermitage were discovered. In 1524, the building was acquired by King Charles V of Navarre to serve as the headquarters of the Comptos Chamber. After the Comptos archives disappeared, the documents were transferred to the General Archive of Navarre. The building was later occupied by the Committee of Artistic and Historical Monuments, which established the Navarre Museum here, completed in 1919. From 1941 to 1994, the building housed the Prince of Viana Institution. Since 1995, it has been restored to serve as the headquarters of the Comptos Chamber once again.
