1. Labrit Bastion Marker
La denominación “Baluarte de Labrit” es posterior a su construcción. Puede deberse al hecho de que Juan de Labrit, último monarca de la Navarra soberana con capital en Pamplona, huyera por esta puerta ante la inminente llegada de las tropas invasoras en julio de 1512.

Labrit Bastion
It did not receive the name “Bastion of Labrit” until after it was built. It may have been given the name because Juan de Labrit, the last monarch of sovereign Navarre, with its capital in Pamplona, fled through this gate in the face of the imminent arrival of the invading troops in July 1512.
