Description

Pamplona, the capital of the Navarre region in Spain, has a rich history dating back to Roman times. As a locality on the Camino de Santiago, it has been welcoming pilgrims since the early Middle Ages. The city is famous for its well-preserved medieval walls, which were built in the 16th century to protect the city from invasions. Historically, Pamplona was a significant stop for pilgrims due to its strategic location at the convergence of three Camino routes: the Camino Aragonés, the Camino Baztanés, and the Camino de Santiago. This made it an important hub for trade, cultural exchange, and the provision of services to travelers. The city's connection to the Camino is evident in its architecture, with notable landmarks such as the Church of San Saturnino and the Gothic-style Cathedral of Santa María la Real, both of which have served as important religious sites for pilgrims throughout the centuries.
