The legacy that the renowned violinist and composer from Pamplona Pablo Sarasate donated to the city where he was born can be seen in the restored Palacio Condestable. This historical noble house, located where Mayor and Jarauta streets meet, is the only example of 16th century civil architecture in Pamplona.
The building now acts as a Civivox centre and a number of leisure and cultural activities take place there. Its inaugural exhibition shows objects relating to the life and works of Sarasate (1844-1908), Pamplona's most famous-ever musician.
A bronze bust, the work of Mariano Benlliure; a portrait by José Llaneces, his Vuillaume and Gand & Bernardel violins and his inseparable Bechstein piano are some of the most attractive exhibits on view.
