The Cámara de Comptos is a 13th-century stone house on Calle Ansoleaga in Pamplona's old town, the city's only surviving example of civil Gothic architecture. From 1524 to 1836 it housed the royal audit chamber of Navarre, where the kingdom's coins were also minted; the restored audit office returned in 1994, and visitors may enter its inner courtyard.

The Museum of Navarre occupies the former Hospital of Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia in Pamplona, a 16th-century building converted into a museum in 1956; the hospital church's facade stands beside the entrance. Its collections run from prehistory to the 20th century, including Roman mosaics, Romanesque capitals from the old cathedral and the ivory Leyre casket.

The Citadel of Pamplona is a pentagonal bastioned fortress ordered by Philip II in 1571 and designed by the military engineer Giacomo Palearo, known as el Fratin; it was completed in 1645. Its five bastions, ditches and outworks now enclose a public park, and former military buildings such as the armoury and the powder magazine house exhibitions.

Pamplona Cathedral is a Gothic church built mainly in the 15th century on the site of a Romanesque cathedral, with a Neoclassical west front designed by Ventura Rodríguez in 1783. Medieval kings of Navarre were crowned here, and the visit includes the Gothic cloister and the alabaster tomb of Charles III the Noble and Queen Eleanor.
