San Martín de Unx - Navarra Media

One of the best conserved medieval towns of Navarre

San Martín de Unx grew on a hill around a long-lost castle, in the foothills of the Sierra de Ujué mountains. Its early days influenced its structure, with steep slopes and the settlement organised concentrically, forming one of the best conserved medieval urban frameworks of Navarre. As you stroll through its streets, you will come across medieval ashlar houses, Baroque buildings with gates and coats-of-arms, and delightful spots.

Reasons to visit San Martín de Unx

Its name is linked to Navarrese rosé wine, produced using the Garnacha grapes from the old vineyards surrounding the town. Every year, Rosé Wine Day, a festivity featuring the San Martín rosé, is held to showcase its qualities.

The 12th-century Romanesque Church of San. Martín de Tours rises up at the highest point of the town. The Romanesque crypt is under its main chapel. It is a vaulted crypt with three naves supported by columns with austere capitals.

Not far away is the proto-Gothic Church of San Miguel from the early 13th century, and the former castle chapel. The façade of the 14th-century Gothic Basilica of Santa María del Pópulo, which was part of the walled enclosure, has remains from the digging up of the ramparts. It is home to the image of the town’s patron saint.

Every April, the Shrine Chapel of Santa Zita is the centre of a popular pilgrimage on the outskirts of the municipality.
