Palace of the Kings of Navarre, Medieval palace in historic district of Pamplona, Spain

Constructed with stone walls and featuring six rib vaults, the palace contains a Romanesque crypt illuminated by six flared windows dating from medieval times.

Originally built in the 12th century as a royal residence, the palace served as home to Navarrese monarchs before becoming a viceregal residence after 1512.

The palace houses the Royal and General Archive of Navarre, preserving documentation from before and after the kingdom lost its independence in 1512.

Located on Dos de Mayo Street, the palace opens daily from 10:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00, with modified hours during San Fermin festivities.

The palace includes a medieval ice house extending seven meters deep, where snow was stored in layers with straw for food preservation and medicine.

Location: Pamplona

Part of: Way of Saint James in Navarre, Iruña/Pamplona historic district
