Edificio Baluarte Review

The Palacio de Congresos y Auditorio de Navarra, built in 2003 by local architectural star Patxi Mangado, is a sleek assemblage of black Zimbabwean granite with a concert hall of exquisite acoustical perfection made of beechwood from upper Navarra's famed Irati haya (beech) forest. Performances and concerts from opera to ballet are held in this modern venue built on the remains of one of the five bastions of Pamplona's 16th-century Ciudadela.
