Fortress and Walls of Pamplona

Reviewed By JElliot32 - New South Wales, Australia

We walked around the city walls from the Museum of Navarra and on to the Citadel. It was a really enjoyable and invigorating experience. We had lovely views over the river and the very green landscape that is this city from the (very formidable) old walls, walked between majestic matures, trees and past flower gardens in full bloom and then an 'urban farm' with deer, swans, turkeys, geese and other domestic fowl wandering around. After a while we reached the extraordinary and vast old defensive site of the Citadel (in the 16th century it was a a full pentagon, now it's half a pentagon). Here the land-use pattern changes as inside the citadel is more expansive and open. As well as functioning as an open-air art gallery, the citadel is a recreational space for locals, walking their dogs, relaxing on the benches or the lawns, or maybe teaming up for scratch games of football. No doubt it is now a great asset for this beautiful city,

Cerco de Artajona

It is an actual medieval fortress that once was an independent kingdom by itself, with preserved towers and stonewalls. We have a church (from the XIIIth century) that was made as a fortress itself, with a really unique roof that is inverted. Now you can visit both the church and its roof. We open it each half an hour, at a price of 2€ and one euro plus if you want to mount to the misterious roof, where you can also see the views, that are incredible. We can even see other regions from there, such as Aragon and La Rioja.

El Cerco has seven of the original twelve towers still in existence, plus the 13th century cathedral. With a little bit of imagination, you can envisage how life might have been in those times. A few kilometres away you have two well-preserved dolmens from the Megalithic era.

Great little spot for some food and drinks, very chilled atmosphere. All the bars have big fans to keep everyone cool when its too hot. Came here every night for 3 weeks while working nearby.

Visited with teenagers - took the audio tour. Was really informative without being long and boring. Fantastic to see and hear all about San Fermin and the running of the bulls and well worth €20 for a family of 4
