Church of San Nicolás
Iglesia de San Nicolás
A fortress-like church begun in the 12th century. Its thick walls and towers reflect the medieval rivalry between three districts of the city.
In medieval Pamplona, three rival districts coexisted: Navarrería, San Cernin and San Nicolás. This church was the defensive core of the San Nicolás district, with thick walls, arrow slits and towers. Its interior moves from Romanesque to Gothic style and contains a Baroque organ. It stands on San Nicolás Street, southwest of the Castle Square. The surrounding area is the pintxos bar street that locals love best, so it is an easy stop on your walk.
