The city

The capital of Navarre, historically the capital of the kingdom, is situaded in the centre of the community, half way between the Mountain and the Riverside Zone, on the route to France, Aragón and Castile. Geographically and figuratively speaking, Pamplona has for centuries been the backbone of the community and still continues to be so.
Pamplona and its most immediate districts concentrate half of Navarre´s population as well as great part of the industrial and commercial resources. The Palace of Navarre is the site for the Local Government where all the political and administrative work occurs
