The city’s Catedral is backed by a hill of trees on the eastern limits of the Casco Antiguo. Its sand-colored Neoclassical façade conceals a mostly Gothic temple begun in the 14th century and completed 200 years later. Before the main altarpiece, the lifelike figures carved into two alabaster tombs represent the remains of King Carlos III of Navarra and his wife Doña Navarra, both eternally asleep in prayer. The Catedral’s claustro (cloister) is of particular note, an ornate square of Franco-Gothic style rated one of the finest of its kind in Europe. From it, a gate leads to the refectory and Museo Diocesano, housing a collection of religious articles and paintings spanning the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
