What travelers say:

Javier Castle is located on the border between Salamanca, the Spanish Muslim and Christian turf, and the towering Santa Miguel tower can be seen from a distance, and allies nearby with fireworks alarms. The first recorded borrowing of Navarre Sancho II and an Aragon nobleman in the 10th century, the Aragon nobles finally paid Javier Castle and Village to King Navarra. Since then, the castle was changed many times until it was returned to the mother's house in the 16th century. Francis Xavier was born in the castle. Later, due to the defeat of the father and his family in the war to maintain the independence of the Navarre Kingdom, the castle was ordered to be razed to the ground by the Spanish regent Cardenal Cisneros, leaving only half of the San Miguel Tower. The teenager's Francis Xavier lived a noble life and was sent to Paris by his parents to go to university. But his father died in the war, his brother was beheaded, changing the world. He embarked on a journey to Asia to preach, leaving a footprint in India and Japan. He died in 1552 on a small island in southern China. In 1622, Francis Xavier was canonized by the Pope as a saint. In the 19th century, the Duke and Duchess of Villahermosa began rebuilding Havel Castle and building a church on the edge of the castle.
