The Hospital de Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia, of the 16th century, of which only the front and the chapel survive. The Gothic-Renaissance chapel is by Juan de Ancheta and was made between 1547 and 1550; the front, of 1556, by Juan de Villarreal and Martín de Azcárate, reads as a triumphal arch with Plateresque ornament. The hospital was emptied in 1932 and since 1956 it has housed the Museo de Navarra, which shows the portal as one more piece.
