Monument to the Fueros of Navarre, Memorial monument at Paseo de Sarasate, Pamplona, Spain
The Monument to the Fueros is a tall structure on Paseo de Sarasate in Pamplona with a polygonal base and five bronze figures at its corners. Built from iron, bronze, concrete, and stone, it rises about 23 meters above the plaza.
The monument was built in 1903 as a response to legislation threatening Navarre's regional rights under Minister German Gamazo. It represents the region's commitment to defending its traditional liberties and self-determination.
The five bronze figures at the corners represent History, Justice, Autonomy, Peace, and Work, while a matron holding chains stands as a symbol of regional identity. These sculptures show what Navarre values and what matters to its people.
The monument sits on Paseo de Sarasate, walking distance from Plaza del Castillo and Pamplona Cathedral. Several bus routes pass nearby, making it easy to reach from different parts of the city.
Bronze plaques surrounding the monument contain inscriptions that detail the historical liberties of Navarrese society. The texts are engraved in both Spanish and Basque, showing the region's dual linguistic identity.
