Zugarramurdi, Rural municipality in northern Navarre, Spain
The small settlement of Zugarramurdi sits at an elevation of 205 meters in the Basque-speaking region of northern Navarre, near the French border.
During the 17th century, Zugarramurdi became the center of intense witch trials, leading to multiple arrests and prosecutions by the Spanish Inquisition.
The town preserves its Basque heritage through language, traditional celebrations, and annual summer solstice festivals held in the local limestone caves.
Visitors can access the Witch Museum and Tourist Office at Behitiko karrika 18, which provides information about local attractions and guided cave tours.
The term 'akelarre', meaning witches' sabbath, originated from a field near Zugarramurdi's caves where nocturnal gatherings reportedly took place.
