Church of San Saturnino (San Cernin)
Iglesia de San Saturnino / San Cernin
A Gothic fortress-style church with two brick towers in the old town, dedicated to Saint Saturninus (San Cernin), who baptised the people of Pamplona.
This 13th-century Gothic church has two tall brick towers that served a defensive purpose, and it was once the stronghold of the medieval San Cernin district. Legend says that Saint Saturninus (San Cernin) baptised the people of Pamplona nearby, and a commemorative well stands beside the church's outer wall. Inside is a 17th-century Baroque chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Way (Virgen del Camino). Located beside the City Hall, entry is free, but please keep quiet during Mass.
