From the guided tour of Pamplona in Navarre, Spain.

We were taken inside the Iglesia de San Saturnino

The church of San Saturnino, more commonly called San Cernin (variant of the Navarrese Occitan Saint Sernin), is a Catholic religious building in the Old Town of the city of Pamplona, ​​Foral Community of Navarra.

It is one of the five ancient parishes that Pamplona once had. The other four are the church of San Juan Bautista (Navarrería), that of San Nicolás, that of San Lorenzo and that of San Agustín.2 It is the parish of Burgo de San Cernin.

Prior to the Romanesque temple, which must have been built between 1180 and 1200, there is news of a primitive church that would have been located under the choir of the current chapel of Santo Cristo. It is mentioned in 1107 by Pedro de Roda in a donation.

The Romanesque church - small in size and with two towers - was the object of several attacks during the course of successive conflicts with neighboring towns: in 1222 it was the inhabitants of the town of San Nicolás who caused the deterioration of its roof, in 1276, during the Navarrería War, were key points in the defense as mentioned by Guilhem de Anelier.

The current church is Gothic from the 13th century. Reasons have been put forward that the works would have begun shortly after the war of 1276. Beginning at the head, as was common practice, they would have continued along the side walls, reaching the gable end around 1297. It is the date of the choir in whose keystone of the sotocoro vault this final date of construction is located.

There was a Gothic cloister attached to the south wall, which in the 18th century was occupied by a large chapel with a Greek cross plan dedicated to the Virgin of the Camino, patron saint of Pamplona.
