Valle de Elorz/Elortzibar
Village
A municipality 5.9 km south of Pamplona, formed by five concejos (Elorz, Guerendiáin, Imárcoain, Torres de Elorz and Zabalegui) and several settlements, among them Noáin, the largest of all. Pamplona-Noáin airport lies within its boundaries.
Acueducto de Noáin
Monument
A hydraulic work designed in 1782 by the architect Ventura Rodríguez, with the collaboration of Santos Ángel de Ochandátegui and later Francisco Alejo Aranguren, to bring to Pamplona water from the Subiza spring, on the northern slope of the Sierra del Perdón. Built in the late 18th century, it channeled water along 16.5 km and came to measure 1,245 meters over 97 stone-and-brick arches, of which 94 survive today, with columns 18 meters high. It supplied Pamplona until 1895. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural with monument status (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) in 1992.
Batalla de Noáin
Historical milestone
On 30 June 1521, on the plain next to Noáin, the Castilian army defeated the Franco-Navarrese troops that a month earlier had reconquered much of the kingdom of Navarre. It was the only major pitched battle of the Castilian conquest of Navarre, and its defeat ended any chance of the House of Albret recovering the territory south of the Pyrenees; Carlos I would eventually cede them, for strategic reasons, sovereignty over Lower Navarre in 1528.
