You may have decided to get to know the historic quarter of Pamplona because of the reputation of its bars and shops, or just through the enjoyable experience of strolling through the streets. On your route you might go down calle Santo Domingo with the sole intention of seeing the start of the world-famous Bull Run of the fiesta of San Fermín. However, something could make you change you mind and really round off your visit to this part of town: the Museum of Navarre.
The building, an ancient hospital of Our Lady of Mercy and a museum since 1956, takes you through the art and history of Navarre from Prehistoric times to the present day. Among its most interesting sections we would highlight the first-century Roman mosaic of the Triumph of Bacchus, the Romanesque capitals of the ancient cathedral of Pamplona, the Mozarabic chest from the Monastery of Leire, or the portrait of the Marquis of San Adrián painted by Goya.
Crowning a rise in the calle Santo Domingo, the building of the Museo de Navarra has a proud motto over its entrance: to make the past present. Both these themes blend harmoniously in the facade of the Museum, and already suggest the stroll that awaits you inside through the history and art of this land, almost since Man decided to settle here. The building houses special examples of Navarre's.
