The palace that Luis de Beaumont, Constable of Navarre, began to enlarge in 1548 by buying four neighbouring houses; it passed to the House of Alba and from 1590 was the residence of the bishops of Pamplona. In the Renaissance style, it has a vestibule opening onto a rectangular courtyard with octagonal stone columns, eight of which were kept in the restoration of 2002 to 2008. Today it is the Civivox Condestable civic centre and houses the Sarasate Museum.
