In Estella stands the Palace of the Kings of Navarre, also known as the Palace of the Dukes of Granada de Ega. It is the only civil Romanesque building in Navarre and was declared a National Monument in 1931. It was built during the last third of the 12th century. Facing towards the church of San Pedro de la Rúa, it has a magnificent façade with two capitals featuring plants and two narrative capitals, one of which represents the battle between Roland and the giant Farragut.
