Pamplona

The city extends across the Arga River flood plain at an elevation of 446 meters, surrounded by mountains and green valleys of northern Spain.

The settlement was established by Roman general Pompey in 75 BC, later becoming the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre during medieval times.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria la Real combines Gothic architecture with neoclassical elements, housing the tombs of Navarre monarchs and religious artifacts.

The city center contains medieval districts called hamlets, connected by an efficient network of pedestrian streets and public transportation systems.

Every July, the San Fermin festival transforms the streets with participants running alongside bulls from the corral to the bullring.
