About City Hall Square, Pamplona-Iruña, Spain

Pamplona's Plaza Consistorial (in Spanish), also known in Basque as Udaletxe Plaza (“City Hall Square”), is a town square located adjacent to the Pamplona-Iruña City Hall in the heart of the Old Town of Pamplona-Iruña, Navarre, Spain. The plaza is best known for its central role in the Festival of San Fermín.

It serves as the stage for the festival’s lively opening ceremony, the txupinazo, on July 6th, and its emotional closing event, the Gaixoa Ni or Pobre de Mí, on July 14th. Each morning during the festival, the encierro—one of San Fermín's most iconic and perilous traditions—passes directly through the square, drawing thousands of spectators and participants into the heart of the Old Town.
