Church of San Lorenzo, Pamplona

The Iglesia de San Lorenzo is a church with a neoclassical facade located at the end of Calle Mayor in Pamplona's old town. The building features geometric patterns and stone details that define its architectural character.

The church was completed in 1901 by architect Florencio Ansoleaga and replaced an earlier baroque building. That former structure had served as part of the city's defense system.

The Chapel of San Fermin holds a wooden statue from the 15th century covered in silver, representing the city's patron saint. Visitors can see this figure in its chapel and understand why it holds deep meaning for local people.

The building is open to visitors during set hours each day. It's worth checking opening times in advance, as these may vary depending on the season and any special events happening.

The statue of San Fermin leaves its chapel only once each year on July 7th for a procession. On this day, the figure marks the beginning of the world-known bull running festival, one of the region's largest popular celebrations.
