Catedral de Pamplona · Pamplona
Por Spain ·
Construction was begun by Charles the Noble in 1397 on the site of a 12th-century Romanesque building and was completed in 1501. The high altar is presided over by the Virgin of Santa María la Real, before whose image the kings of Navarre took their oaths.
The present building was erected on the ruins of the earlier Romanesque church, which was demolished in the 14th century. This cathedral is divided into three Gothic naves. The chapels are in a variety of styles.
The central nave houses the mausoleum of Charles III the Noble and his wife, Doña Leonor. The cathedral’s façade is Neoclassical, whilst the interior and the cloister, which dates from the 14th century, are Gothic.
