What to do around the Pamplona bullring?

Pamplona is a city brimming with life and has an endless number of places to visit. Pay attention to the following points of interest that are worth seeing.

Plaza del Castillo

The Plaza del Castillo is the central point of Pamplona and stands as the ideal starting point for exploring its most outstanding attractions. This beautiful arcaded square is surrounded by picturesque 18th century buildings with wooden balconies that add a unique charm. Although the two original castles that gave it its name no longer occupy their place, the square retains an imposing presence.

In the centre of the square is a bandstand that stands out from everything else. It is highly recommended that you climb up the steps to the bandstand for an incredible panoramic view of the elegant buildings that surround it.

Monument to the Fueros

A few steps from the Plaza del Castillo, at the eastern end of the Paseo Sarasate, stands the imposing Monument to the Fueros. This majestic work is 25 metres high and stands in front of the building of the Provincial Council of Navarre.

It stands out as an emblematic symbol of Navarrese freedom and its five statues represent the fundamental pillars of Autonomy, History, Justice, Peace and Work. This monument commemorates the Navarrese uprising of 1893, an act of resistance to the suppression of their fiscal autonomy.

Town Hall Square and Town Hall

Another of the charming squares worth visiting in Pamplona is the Plaza Consistorial. In the centre of this square stands the impressive Baroque building that houses the town hall. It is striking for its beautiful colourful façade adorned with statues and balconies.

This building stands as one of the city's distinctive icons, as every July 6th, the chupinazo is launched from its balcony to mark the start of the famous San Fermín fiestas. On this special day, although the square is not excessively large, it fills up with more than 10,000 people, creating an atmosphere of celebration that borders on the incredible.
