History
Built around 1680, this complex comprises three buildings in a U-shape, three storeys, arranged around a central courtyard. The building reused the walls of the former house of the kings of Navarre (traces of doors and windows of the 15th or 16th century). The arsenal could house a considerable quantity of arms and ammunition.
