Casa Del Condestable - Interview by Studio Banana TV

The “Casa del Condestable” is a building listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest. It was built from 1548 by Luis de Beaumont, 4th Count of Lerín and Constable of the Kingdom of Navarre. For centuries it belonged to the House of Alba and at one time was a bishop’s residence. In the late nineteenth century it was the object of numerous reforms with the purpose of fitting it out for rental dwellings, shops and artisan workshops. The facades were also modified according to the eclectic taste of the time, replacing the corner balcony by a chamfered corner with lookouts. In the year 2000, in a state of ruin, it was acquired by the City Hall to prevent it being demolished and it was then decided to refurbish it for use as a civic centre in the Old Town of Pamplona.
