The first place to drop in at when visiting the town is the Meeting Point-Tourist Office next to the Cathedral, where visitors are welcomed and provided with all the information they may like to receive. The Office has both an exhibition area and a basement where a video presentation of the town is screened. The historical, seventeen-span Ebro bridge marks the entrance to the town of Tudela. Of old, the bridge was crowned with three towers, a fact borne witness to on the town shield.

The Church of the Magdalena: Romanesque, XII-century building declared a monument of national interest. Both the “Pantocrator” and the Plateresque reredos dating from 1551 are worthy of note.
The Church of San Nicolás: Rebuilt in the XVI and XVIII centuries, the Romanesque "Pantocrator" has been conserved.


The Cathedral of Santa María: Declared a Monument of National Interest in 1884, the Cathedral was built on top of the remains of what was the main mosque in times of Muslim rule. The spectacular "Doomsday Door" and the main reredos, crafted by Pedro Díaz de Oviedo in the XV century, are worthy of note. The Romanesque cloister was built in the XII century next to the attractive Mudejar chapel of the School of Christ.

The town also boasts impressive civil architecture in the form of Palaces and old residences belonging to the local nobility: the Palace of the Marquis of San Adrián, a grand Renaissance building dating from the XVI century; the Palace of the Marquis of Huarte, an XVIII-century Baroque building with murals on the main façade (both are open to the public); or the Dean's palace, a magnificent brick construction, today the Museum of Tudela. As for houses, the so-called Admiral's house and the residence of the Ibáñez Luna family, both from the XVI century, are worthy of mention.

The Plaza de los Fueros: Built in the XVII century, the square is presided over by the Clock house and used to serve as the local bullring. The façades of the buildings forming the square bear the shields of local villages and leading Tudelan families. A museum dedicated to Tudelan painter Muñoz Sola was opened in June 2003.
