| Additional information |
Olite's royal palace — the Palacio Real de Olite — served as the primary residence of the Kings of Navarre in the 15th century, most closely associated with Charles III, who expanded it into one of the most elaborate Gothic complexes on the Iberian Peninsula. What stands today is substantially a 20th-century reconstruction; a fire during the Peninsular War left most of the medieval structure in ruins for over a century before restoration began in the 1920s.
Spain's 1.5 euro denomination exists outside standard circulation, issued specifically for the collector market under a program that pairs accessible price points with regional architectural heritage.
