Perhaps the area's top cultural spot is the Museo de Navarra, a small but interesting museum dedicated to Navarra's rich cultural, artistic and historical heritage. The museum is housed in a medieval former hospital, the 16th century Hospital de Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia, and has an eclectic array of sculptures, paintings, archaeological finds from prehistory right up through present day.
Take time to explore the collection, which features Romanesque capitals from Pamplona's ancient cathedral; Moorish artwork and chests; uncovered Roman mosaics; works by Navarran artists and even a painting by Goya. It also hosts a constant rotation of temporary exhibitions, film series, conferences, courses and other cultural activities.
