Welcome Reception

The ISOS 2025 Welcome Reception on June 1st will take place in the old Salesas Monastery of Pamplona. Las Salesas (Pamplona) was a monastery of the Salesas in the Old Town of Pamplona, ¿¿occupying a large plot of land between San Francisco Street and Rincón de la Aduana. Built in 1902, according to the project of Florencio Ansoleaga, it was named Monastery of the Visitation of Our Lady. In 2000 the Salesas left the convent, which was acquired in 2004 by the Caja de Ahorros de Navarra. After its purchase in 2010, the Commonwealth of the Pamplona Region conditioned the building, which was inaugurated as its headquarters in 2023. It is surrounded by several hotels and restaurants and only a few minutes walking from the historical center of the city. Alternatively, there is a bus stop in the Taconera St. near the church of San Lorenzo at 50 m (lines 3, 16 and 17) connecting the Welcome Reception venue to the rest of the city.

Gala Dinner

Located in the historic center of Pamplona, ¿¿with access through the northern section of the city wall via the so-called Portal de Francia (French Gate). This former chapel, completely renovated, now houses the restaurant of the Pamplona Catedral Hotel.
Traditional cuisine with avant-garde touches in the center of Pamplona will delight those attending the gala dinner in the evening of June 2nd.
