Review & FAQ:

In old town Pamplona, near the Taconera Gardens, stands the small church of San Lorenzo. Inside is a statue of the saint, holding a grill. This signifies his martyrdom by being burnt at the stake. The more famous statue of San Fermin is in a side chapel. It is a wooden statue, draped in a red cape to protect it from the bulls when it is paraded through the streets during the San Fermin festival. This chapel is very popular with wedding parties and there is a long waiting list. In another side chapel is the statue of La Dolorosa, the grieving mother of Jesus.
