UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE

Laconic, sober, almost monastic, the Baluarte rises from the edge of the city's first extension, where the ramparts were torn down in the late 19th century, adjacent to the defensive citadel which was begun in 1571, during Felipe II's reign. The building takes the shape of an L, free of edges or ornaments, sheltering from traffic an immense access square which adjoins the Parliament of Navarre. Invisible yet present, harmonious yet airtight, modern yet classic, Patxi Mangado's project satisfies the longing of the most curious: more than generate closed contexts, or better yet, more than solving enigmas, it raises curiosity from silent walls that surround the echo of instruments and voices. 17 BALUARTE

BALUARTE, IN THE CITY

Pamplona is a medium sized city which has managed to grow while preserving its various historical sites: the medieval town, the Renaissance Citadel, the modernist extension... It is precisely, between the two latter that the Baluarte is located. From here, you can access the city's main landmarks on foot, without the need to use your car.
