2. 1. GEOGRAPHY
-It is located in the center of
-3 rivers flow through Pamplona
-It borders France
-Southern areas of Pamplona are warm and dry while
in the north the climate is cooler

3. • Pamplona is located in the middle of Navarre in a
rounded valley, known as the Basin of Pamplona
• It was an important city in trade roads

4. 2. HOW IS THE CITY LAID OUT?
• The old town has a Roman origin, it comes from the camp
established by Pompey over a vascona city called Irueña.
• The plan of the old town is irregular and it is organized into
three districts around the “Plaza del Castillo”
• The plot is compact due to urban growth throughout history has
tended to densify to maximize space. The traditional building is
low. The nineteenth century houses are 4 or 5 floors high
• In the XIX and XX centuries the first urban expansion ocurred
but inside the walls. The first two widenings which adopted
orthogonal plane were for the bourgeois
• The construction of the station of the railroad in the north of
the city in 1864 was very impotantant
• Attached to the bourgeois widening, there is a neighborhood of
chalets.

5. • The urban growth and urban sprawl took place especially from
the sixties of the 20th century.
• The city of Pamplona is not being beautified and there is not a
process of gentrification

6. 3. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
• In the winter of 75–74 BC, the area served as a camp for the
Roman general Pompey in the war against Sertorius.
• During the Germanic invasions of 409 and later as a result
of Rechiar´s ravaging, Pamplona went through much disruption
and destruction
• From the 11th century, reviving economic development allowed
Pamplona to recover its urban life.
• After the 1512 conquest and annexation of Navarre to Spain,
Pamplona remained as capital of the semi-autonomous kingdom of
Navarre, which preserved its own (reformed) institutions and
laws.
• Pamplona passed the process of industrialization and
modernization in the 20th century

7. 4. ENVIRIOMENTAL ISSUES
• Pollution is increasing an the limit of CO2 an ozone have been
exceeded so it is starting to affect to people’s health
• There is also an environmental setback given by the bet for
processes of concealed incineration of residues.
• The government of Navarre (where Pamplona is located) for
managing the problems of air pollution is creating some limits for
the amount of polluting substances like ozone in the air.

8. • Noise pollution is also being measured but a few things are being
made to reduce pollution. Only some directives are regulating the
noise of plains cars…
• There is also a destruction of protected habitats by the
administration
