Tudela is the second most important town in Navarra (Spain). It´s located in the south of the region, embedded in the Ebro valley. It was founded by Moslems in the 9th century from which time it became the home to three different cultures: arabs, christians and jews.
The most significant monuments in Tudela are its 12th-13th century cathedral, the Magdelen and St. Nicolas churches and the River Ebro bridge. Also of particular monumental interest are various historic buildings scattered throughout the old town, such as the Marqués de Huarte (currently an Archive Library), the Marqués de San Adrián (currently an open university), the Almirante and the Ibáñez-Luna.
Not to be missed is Tudela´s main square, known as the “Plaza Nueva” or “Plaza de los Fueros”. Built in 17th century this impressive area is an excellent example of spanish barroque architecture.
Tourists are also attracted to the Tudela region by its outstanding local vegetable-based gastronomy, its festivals and dances and the Bardenas Natural Park, (an uninhabited natural park covering 415 km2).
