The Zumalacarregui Gate
One morning in October 1833, Tomas de Zumalacarregui e Imaz, Colonel of the Army, born in Ormaiztegui on December 29, 1788, left through this gate of the walls of Pamplona to take the lead, as general of the Carlist Armies defending the ideals of God, homeland and king, the traditional principles tenaciously preserved, as well as the local laws and privileges known as ‘fueros’, by the inhabitants of the ancient Kingdom of Navarre. A model strategist and military organizer, he knew how to convert a mass of volunteers into a regular army capable of consecutively defeating the Elizabethan forces. His death on June 24, 1835 after being wounded in the siege of Bilbao was a hard setback for the arms of Don Carlos.
