Regarding Recoletas Fountain. "This obelisk-shaped fountain is one of the four fountains in Pamplona that were designed by the Madrid painter Luis Paret at the end of the 18th century, taking advantage of the fact that for the first time water was brought to Pamplona from outside (specifically from the Subiza spring). Originally it was located a few meters from here, closer to the Church of San Lorenzo." (Translated from pampiruna.com)

Curiously, the bank was absorbed by the Banco Popular in 2008, so the fountain's restoration possibly happened at almost the same time. (Submitted on September 29, 2023.)
