About Ermitagaña
Where to stay in Ermitagaña
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Ermitagaña keeps few paid rooms. Visitors who want a bed within walking distance of the Citadel of Pamplona or the Church of San Lorenzo book in central Pamplona and treat this district as the quieter edge they return to. Barañain lies alongside.
If your reason for coming is the University Museum of Navarra or the Museum of Zoology, this side is the practical base and the old core becomes the evening trip instead.

The landmark list here is Pamplona's. Ermitagaña reaches the Citadel of Pamplona and its Horno de la Ciudadela, the Convento de las Agustinas, the Church of San Lorenzo and the Church of San Jorge, none of which the district claims as its own. Statues fill the gaps.
Pamplona's monuments honour Julián Gayarre, Hilarión Eslava, Pablo Sarasate and Teobaldo I de Navarra, while the Parque del Tren Trinitarios and the Capilla del Hospital de Navarra sit among the same nearby set.
What is the history of Ermitagaña?
Ermitagaña keeps no record of its own. What the district has instead is the city archive close at hand, from the Citadel of Pamplona and its Horno de la Ciudadela to the Convento de las Agustinas and the Capilla del Hospital de Navarra. The names carry it.
Monuments to Pompeyo, Teobaldo I de Navarra, Francisco Navarro Villoslada and José Joaquín Arazuri stand in the city Ermitagaña belongs to, and the University of Navarra keeps its museums on the same side.
