Pamplona, presents/displays a great resistance to us between the modern city, with numerous gardens and great avenues and the walled medieval city, with small side streets, seats and old monuments. And this happens, unlike other cities that maintain their old helmet separated and the modern one, conjugating admirably tradition with modernity in the same zones. Thus we will be able fundamentally to appreciate it in its wall, reconstructed in the s. XVI and XVIII, that in extraordinary length, partially parallel to the Arga river, embraces the city.To its flank we will happen through the most beautiful and modern gardens, great avenues and the oldest monuments of the city, all it in extraordinary harmony. And the reason is this for which we have chosen it as spine of our itinerary because it will orient to us in our monumental route and as well shows the beautiful conjunction to us of modernity with the tradition. We began by a symbolic end, the one of the Bullring, call of Hemingway, being to this insigne author to whom Pamplona thanks for the salary throughout the world made so well-known. The end of the wall next to the Arga river, is the Bullring, that is outside the wall, indicating one of its ends. This seat that Hemingway mentioned in their Literature constitutes one of the most important bullfighting scenes of Spain, mainly at time of Sanfermines, when it is constituted in goal of the privileged race of the young people who participate in the confinement and scene of the best bullfights of the year.
Closely together of the same one is the Seat of the also bullfighting Castle, because in her the bullfights of bulls took place until 1893. In 1910 their cafeterias settled, where more once Hemingway seated. This seat continues being, of some way, the "heart of the city". The Cathedral, Work of gothic style, reconstructed between 1397 and 1530, are one of the more important religious buildings of Spain. Its facade, of neoclassic style, was made by Luck Rodriguez in s. XVIII. The temple is based on one previous of style Romanesque one, consecrated in 1124. Of this one their vestiges in the Navarrese Museum as well as in its Refectory can be still appreciated. Gothic his claustro is considered like one of most perfect and beautiful of Europe. In its central ship they are possible to be admired the Mausoleo of the alabaster Kings, made in 1415 in the purest Burgundian style, with the yacentes figures of Don Carlos III of Navarre and Doña Leonor. They also deserve special mention the altarpiece of s. XV; The Adoration of the Magicians; the Chapel of Barbanza, s. XIV; the Source of Santa Cruz, with the Tomb of the Counts de Gades and the Precious Door. In the Diocesano Museum, old refectory of the canons, constructed in 1330, are two most important relics; the one of the Lignum Crucis and the one of Santo Sepulcro.
