 | | It has a population of 171,150, and is 92 kilometres from the town of San Sebastián, and 407 kilometres from Madrid. |
 | | By the 10th century, Pamplona was benefitted from pilgrimages to Santiago, and gave rise to new city areas beside the original Navarreria site: the "Burgo de San Cernin", supported by the Kingdom of Navarre and mainly inhabited by Franks and merchants, and the village of "San Nicolás". |
 | | These three independent towns, being placed so close together, were almost always engaged in quarrels among them, until the King of Navarre Charles III the Noble united all of them in the single city of today by the "Privilegio de la Unión" signed in 1423. |
