Navarrese town councils (III):
merindades of Sangüesa and Tudela
Introduction
This virtual visit represents the culmination of the tour of the Navarre municipalities, which began in 2022 with those of the Merindad de Pamplona and continued in 2023 with those of Estella and Olite.
The historical context, as well as the architectural and urbanistic considerations provided during the first tour, are completely applicable and extensible to the sections presented in this research. Therefore, it is not necessary to delve again into its development, which can be easily consulted.
On this occasion, the visit has focused on the merindades of Sangüesa and Tudela, highlighting some of the most prominent town halls in these areas: Lumbier, Roncal and Sangüesa in the former; and Ablitas, Azagra, Cascante, Corella, Tudela and Villafranca in the latter.
To carry out this study, methodologies similar to those used in previous installments have been used, with the financial aid of programs of study general as the Monumental Catalog of Navarra or the Gran Enciclopedia de Navarra, as well as other more specific ones such as those offered by the Panorama collection, the Journal of the Center of programs of study of the Merindad de Tudela or the Notebooks of the Chair of Heritage and Art of Navarra, among others. Although it requires a update, the pioneering monograph entitled Casas Consistoriales en Navarra, published in 1988, is still relevant. In addition, the newspaper archives of the two most popular newspapers in Navarre and the web pages of the aforementioned town halls provide valuable information that complements visit. To all of them we owe their contribution.
