Pamplona, Colonial municipality in Norte de Santander, Colombia
Pamplona sits at an elevation of 2342 meters in the Eastern Colombian Andes, surrounded by mountains and agricultural lands along strategic trade routes.
Pedro de Ursúa and Ortún Velasco established Nueva Pamplona del Valle del Espíritu Santo on November 1, 1549, naming it after the Spanish city.
The Santa Clara Cathedral, constructed in 1584, houses a notable pipe organ crafted by Celestino Balbiani from Milan, representing Colombian religious heritage.
The University of Pamplona serves as the primary educational institution, contributing to the local economy alongside agriculture and religious tourism.
The Águeda Gallardo de Villamizar House, dating from 1644, stands as a testament to the independence movement where the revolution started in 1810.
