GREETINGS
FROM THE MAYOR
Pamplona is putting all its energy and enthusiasm behind hosting the 1st
International Congress on fortified heritage: management and sustainable
development. On 15th, 16th and 17th October, our city has the honour of
becoming a meeting point for discussion and debate on the use and
maintenance of former defence constructions.
With this in mind, I would like to make the most of these words to welcome
the congress to Pamplona, hoping that its professional expectations will be
fully met, and encouraging you all to get to know the virtues that go hand in
hand with a thousand-year-old city beyond actual heritage and the host of
monuments that Pamplona has to offer. As a city, we are regular hosts for
pilgrims starting out on the St James' Way, as an educational reference point
- with over 20,000 university students – and as a universal festival, as the San
Fermin celebrations cross borders year after year.
I am highly optimistic that all the presentations, debate forums and tours
scheduled during the congress will help us to organise new initiatives around
conservation and use of walled enclosures, and that together, we will be
capable of promoting it correctly so as to guarantee that future generations
have the chance to enjoy fortified heritage as an important part of the city
and in its day to day life.
Welcome to Pamplona. We hope you have a pleasant stay with us.
Enrique Maya Miranda
Mayor of Pamplona
GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR
As Mayor of Pamplona, I should point out that this is an excellent opportunity
for our city to organise this type of professional congress and be able to
develop the FORTIUS cross – border project that Bayonne and Pamplona,
twinned since 1960, have been backing to improve the tourist and cultural
pull of our fortified heritage.

International Conference on
FORTIFIED HERITAGE:
MANAGEMENT AND
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The International Conference on Fortified Heritage: Management and Sustainable
Development aims to be a forum for debate on the preservation and civic integration of
built military heritage. While often forgotten and neglected, many defensive structures
offer a great opportunity to transform the spaces they occupy into revitalising focal
points of city life through their restoration and the implementation of functional
improvements in accommodation, facilities and accessibility.
Attending the conference will be many international experts with an interest in sharing
their experiences of cities engaged in transferring and integrating into civic life structures
that had previously served a defensive purpose. The conservation of their military
heritage (buildings, landscape, urban fabric, etc.) is of great importance as for many cities
it represents a badge of identity.
Subjects to be covered range from restoration and conservation techniques and methods
to the social and economic impact of conservation, or the opportunity that military
monuments offer to tourist, sociocultural and other urban sectors.
The presentation of solutions from diverse sites will familiarise attendees with different
approaches that have come under consideration and thus enable them to study and
compare a wide variety of best practices.
The problems and opportunities are common to many sites and landscape environments
in the different regions and countries. It is our intention that the topics for debate and
the papers presented at the conference emphasise these common features while at the
same time helping to share international experiences in transforming and adaptating
defensive structures and complexes to civic ends.
The aim is for the military monument to be regarded as more than just a memorial or
cultural reference point, or even a mere place or object. Defensive heritage is moving
towards broader and more ambitious scenarios where it typically becomes an
6

opportunity to drive forward economic or leisure activities. Co-operation between cities
and countries, such as the Fortius project set up by Pamplona and Bayonne, represents
an opportunity to share knowledge and experience, and also to undertake joint
upgrading and promotion initiatives that serve to boost their heritage potential.
The need to achieve sustainable development will be discussed in all its aspects
(environmental, economic, social and cultural), entailing questions related to upkeep and
conservation, as well as the necessity for a management plan (short, medium and long
term) that is responsive to the needs and aspirations of the community.
These days, heritage conservation and safeguarding, especially with defensive structures,
faces new and complex problems. Their physical degradation is not just a consequence
of the ageing of the materials or the action of the environment. Among other factors,
pollution, climate change, poverty, religion, tourism, commercial exploitation and
ideology are now at the forefront of new approaches, preoccupations and visions
emerging around the theme.
Part of the project known as Fortius: tourist and cultural enhancement of the
fortified heritage of Pamplona and Bayonne, this conference is directed at
researchers, architects, town planners, landscape gardeners, historians, sociologists,
economists, government employees and others working in the field of heritage and the
city.
The Fortius project is financed by the Regional Development Funds of the European
Union within the Spain-France-Andorra Territorial Cooperation Programme [POCTEFA] of
the Working Community of the Pyrenees.

VENUE
PAMPLONA
The General Gnaeus Pompey Magnus. Surrounded by mountains, the plain of the basin
of Pamplona has always favoured human settlement. Stone tools have been found on the
terraces of the River Arga dating from some 75,000 years ago. In approximately the first
millennium BC, there already existed a Vascon settlement beneath the modern-day city. This
settlement gave rise to the name Iruña, Basque for "the city". The Roman General Gnaeus
Pompey Magnus arrived in 75 BC and founded a Roman-model city. He gave it its name,
Pompaelo, and enhanced its function as a strategic link between the peninsula and Europe.
A kingdom in the hands of the clergy. Pamplona fell into the hands of the Visigoths and
the Moors between the IV and IX centuries. In the X century, the noble clans gained
sufficient autonomy as to form the Kingdom of Pamplona, the name of which was a tribute
to the symbolic importance of the city, then considered the “soul of the land of the
Vascons”, in political and religious terms. For more than three hundred years, the head of
the capital was not the king, but rather the bishop. This was the result of a donation by
Sancho Garcés II Abarca as a sign of his gratitude to God for the help received against the
Moors and was then ratified by successive monarchs.
The Privilege of the Union. The XII century saw the arrival of the Settlement of San
Nicolás, based around a new parish church, populated by new immigrants. Navarrería,
where the "navarros" lived, received its privilege of Franks and the annex of San Miguel in
1189. The nobility, living in Navarrería and supported by the bishop, backed the alliance with
Castile, while those living in San Cernin and San Nicolás preferred the French solution. The
VENUE
Three walled boroughs. At the end of the XI century, the monarchs from the Aragonese
dynasty (Sancho Ramírez, Pedro I, Alfonso I) made great efforts to reconquer and repopulate
the land. The arrival of the Franks or “burgueses” (emigrants devoted to trade and
craftsmanship) meant that Pamplona was no longer just a large village with a cathedral.
Meanwhile, internal tensions started. Before 1100, Frenchmen from the Midi, devout
followers of Saint Saturnine, to whom they dedicated their church and the name of the new
district, settled to the west of the old city. And so, the Borough of San Cernin was born.
These inhabitants kept themselves apart from the older Navarrese inhabitants and the
privileges they received from the king in 1129 widened still further the distance between
them.

three centres of population fought until 1423, when King Carlos III the Noble transformed
the three boroughs into a single body. Jurería and a new Town Hall were built, a new coat of
arms for the city was designed and the construction of fortifications within the city was
forbidden.
Fortified enclave. After the conquest of Navarre and its inclusion within Castile in 15121515, Pamplona became one of the Spanish Crown’s outposts on the French border. The
constant objective of the next three centuries was to hold the border against possible
invasion. Fortifications and walls were a vital system of defence which, at the same time,
prevented the city from spreading. The Citadel and the new walled city (XVI- XVIII century)
lent Pamplona, more than ever, the mark of a city-fort.
The neoclassical reforms. At the beginning of the XVIII century, society was still highly
traditional. A good part of the citizens belonged to the aristocracy and the clergy, almost a
quarter worked the land and a third of the population were small artisans. From an industrial
viewpoint, only the existence of a cloth factory, a paper mill and a gunpowder mill were
worthy of mention. As of 1750, Pamplona sought modernisation. A new Town Hall, sewers,
a running water system, fountains, a Neo-classical façade for the cathedral, an urban
explosion which was not interrupted by the Napoleonic invasion of 1808 and only ended
with the 1813 War of Independence. Napoleon’s troops were the only ones ever to take the
Citadel.
Liberals and Carlists at war. Following the War of Independence, liberal ideas began to
take hold in Spain and Navarre, in particular, suffered the consequences. A good part of the
Kingdom backed the Carlists, defenders of absolutism and the regime dictated by ancient
privilege. Pamplona, however, supported the liberals, although part of the population
sympathised with the Carlist cause. Pamplona’s active bourgeoisie and civil servant
bureaucracy managed to find room for their ideas in the reform of the ancient privileges (Ley
Paccionada of 1841). The Madrid Government tried to reduce Navarre’s fiscal autonomy and
a huge demonstration was held in Pamplona in 1839. As a symbol of this spirit, the
Monument to the Fueros (Privileges) was raised. Urban expansion began in 1888 with the
construction of the I Ensanche (literally, ”widening”). The best local architects of the day
designed modernist projects for the area. The city remained entirely walled, however, until
1915, the year in which some of its walls were demolished.
The XX century was the century of expansion. Cultural, social, economic, technological
and urban growth. Today, Pamplona is a city with effective social services, good education
and health systems, areas given over to leisure, high industrial activity and a consolidated
communications network. In brief, a modern city with a high quality of life.

CONDESTABLE PALACE – PALACIO DEL CONDESTABLE
c/ Mayor 2, 31001 Pamplona | T +34 948 224 249
The International Congress on Fortified Heritage: “Management and Sustainable
Development” will take place in the Condestable Palace, in the centre of the city of
Pamplona. This historical building, located at the junction of Mayor and Jarauta Streets, is
the only example of 16th-century civil architecture in Pamplona. To learn of the origins of the
palace it is necessary to go back to 1548, the
year in which Luis de Beaumont, 'Condestable
(constable) of Navarre', bought 4 adjacent
houses to extend his own, on the corner of
Mayor Street. The title of Constable of Navarre
originated in the first third of the 15th century
and was used to designate nobles who were
charged with carrying the royal standard.
Throughout its history, the building has served
the city as the seat of the bishop and even as
the city hall. In the 21st century, following
extensive restoration work, the palace opens its
doors again, this time at the service of the
people of Pamplona as a civic centre, adding to the list of assets of cultural interest in
Navarre. The form has restored the building's original appearance, recovering elements such
as its fanciful corner.
Nowadays it's the main centre of Civivox, the civic and cultural network of Pamplona City
Council. Each year it has 150.000 users and it's used by more than 100 social and cultural
associations.
The building follows the design of Renaissance palaces. Access from Mayor Street is through
an entrance hall, giving onto a courtyard with the main staircase on one side. The rooms are
located around this central space. The building is completed with a garden at the back
where the stables used to be located.
Ground floor
The courtyard is flanked by 14 octagonal columns, 8 of them the original ones. It contains a
well that was discovered during an archaeological dig. The oldest room is over 6 metres high
and has three large pointed arches.

First floor
This is the 'noble' floor and houses three large halls with ceilings whose hand-cut wooden
ceilings maintain part of the original colours. Over four centuries the walls were decorated to
the taste of the tenants, and a walk through the halls shows quite a few details of days gone
by. This floor is also home to the exhibition on the genial violinist from Pamplona Pablo
Sarasate. The halls on this floor are also the venue for temporary exhibitions of a wide range
of themes.
Second floor
For almost two centuries this floor was occupied by the servants of the palace, and much of
the graffiti they left on the walls can be seen; anonymous pencil drawings on a wide range
of subjects. The floor now contains the skylight that gives natural light to the whole building.
Of particular note is the restoration of the gallery of pointed arches on the façade of the
building that gives onto Mayor Street.

LECTURER: ING. ASSOCIATE IN BUNKERQ V.O.F, OFFICE FOR HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT,
RESTORATION AND ARCHITECTURE
Educated as an engineer, he started bunkerQ in the late 1990's. From the year 1999
bunkerQ got involved in the development of the New Dutch Waterline. The first plan
was a conversion of a wooden shed. Soon to be followed by the reconstruction of the
earth works of a small battery fort. In 2003 bunkerQ was able to estimate, by
database modeling , the cost of preservation of the build objects of the new Dutch
Waterline. The results of this calculation were base of a large scale financial program

bunkerQ'. A coherent calculation tool to estimate the costs and benefits of large scale
'heritage' projects. From 2007 Gerco co-operated with his partner Indira Zuljevic, an

Vechten, phase 1', a consolidation program on 13 buildings, from which 5 buildings
were converted to bat- habitats and 1 to a climate controlled meeting place for
groups up to 200 people. Recently 'Fort het Hemeltje' was completed. A 750 m2 fort,
converted to a flexible high class office for up to 60 people.
