Sanguesa Attractions

From Pamplona N 243 runs southeast and in 43km/27mi reaches the little town of Sangüesa (alt. 404m/1,326ft), which was fortified in the 12th century by Alfonso el Batallador (Alfonso I of Aragon, the "Battler"). In the 15th and 16th centuries many noble families built handsome mansions in the town, the finest of which are the Palacio del Príncipe de Viana (now the Town Hall) and the Palacio Vallesantoro (now the Casa de Cultura) with its imposing doorway and elaborately carved canopy.
