The Palacio Real de Olite, built between 1402 and 1424 by Charles III (King of Navarre from 1387 and 1425), is one of the most important historical legacies of Navarre and first served as the residence of Charles II and Eleanor of Castile, and after his daughter Doña Blanca (Queen of Navarre from 1424 and 1441).

On the night of 23 June we celebrate , coinciding with Noche de San Juan, summer solstice. In this event, with their specific stretches across Europe, campfires and bonfires are lit to symbolize the power of sun and help it to renew its energy. The roots of the celebration are old and confuse: tradition says that the Sun was in love with the Earth and refused to leave it. There is also a superstition telling that the summer solstice was the ideal to drive away evil spirits and attract good ones, so as to make love and fertility charms. So still today, during La Noche de San Juan, citizens throw into the fire small objects, desires and even course notes with the aim of dispelling evil spirits. The bravest even dare to jump over the flames.

As a commemoration, in the Middle Age people began to light bonfires around which various rites were held . In Zaragoza, distributed throughout the city, lit bonfires to celebrate that night. The fires at Barrio Oliver and at Parque Delicias are probably the most popular and hundreds of people gather around the fire in this magical celebration . Then, some pictures of the celebration in Delicias Park:
