Spain · 12th century
Amaiur Castle is located on Mount Gaztelu, at the end of the village of Amaiur, in the Baztan valley (Navarre) in northern Spain. The remains are so scant that one can barely make out the remnants of a wall. On the site of the former castle there stands a monument in tribute to the defenders of the independence of Navarre.
