About Citadel of Pamplona

The Citadel of Pamplona, also known as the New Castle (in Basque, Iruñeko zitadela; in Spanish, Ciudadela de Pamplona), is a Renaissance-era military bastion fort constructed between the 16th and 17th centuries in the city of Pamplona, the capital of the Navarre community in Spain.

A large part of the fort remains intact and is currently incorporated into a public park, where cultural activities are held in its buildings.

In 2015, as part of UNESCO's approval process for the further development of the Camino de Santiago in Spain (The Camino de Santiago de Compostela: The French Camino and the Caminos in the North of Spain), Spain submitted documentation entitled Retrospective Inventory – Associated Components. In this inventory, the Citadel of Pamplona is listed as component number 180.
