Larraga

With a hamlet spread out on the slope of a hill on the cima which a medieval castle was located, Larraga offers a totally irregular urbanism that responds to a spontaneous growth, without previous plan, with long and broken streets that descend from the parish of San Miguel and cross disorderly with other perpendicular ones. The peace achieved in the kingdom in the sixteenth century led to a demographic and economic increase that resulted in an expansion of the town towards the plain, where new houses were built and a larger place was opened. 

The Larragan place , known as "de los Fueros", not only stands out for its absolute regularity, but also for being one of the few cases in Navarre that replicates a preconceived urban plan, as in Tudela or Tafalla. In fact, it was built in the thirties of the eighteenth century by the master builder Francisco de Aguirre, following the design provided by Juan de Larrea in 1732, one of the most important architects of the kingdom at that time. Destined to be the main social space of the town and the scene of festivals and celebrations, especially bullfighting shows, the place had incorporated in the project, like many other major squares, the council house, as well as barn, inn and bullfighting ring. 

It presents a design in L with elevations of three bodies with wide semicircular arches on stone pillars on the leave floor and two upper floors built entirely in brick in which there are individual balconies on the main floor and windows in the attic, all of them plumb with the arches. The set welcomes in the west bay the town hall, which only differs from the rest of the set by its two balconies joined in a single ledge between which stands a coat of arms of the town. It was carved in 1742 by Miguel de Zufía, with bulging foliage, lower mask, children and crown open by bell. In its field there is a raga foot with three branches with its fruits, in agreement with the concession made by the kings Juan de Albret and Catalina de Foix in 1507, monarchs that one year later would grant the celebration of fair to the town.
