Ciudadela de Pamplona

Pamplona, Spain, Spain

Ciudadela de Pamplona is a pentagonal Renaissance star fort built in the 16th-17th centuries under Philip II in Pamplona, Navarre, northern Spain, designed by Italian engineer Fratín to secure Spanish control over the region with advanced bastion defenses against artillery.

Only three of its original five bastions remain intact today, surrounding a spacious park that hosts cultural events, exhibitions, and gardens where visitors explore military history exhibits and peaceful green spaces.

Decommissioned as a military site in 1964 after serving in conflicts from Napoleonic times through the Spanish Civil War, it stands as Pamplona's premier historic landmark near the old town, blending formidable fortifications with modern recreational use.
