Château d'Amaiur, château fort navarrais
Château d'Amaiur was a fortress built in the Baztan valley that served as a defensive stronghold with stone walls and fortified structures. Today, visitors can see the remains scattered across the site, revealing the layout of what once stood there.
The fortress was built in medieval times and served as a defensive position in the region's network of strongholds. It was destroyed and gradually lost its original form over centuries.
The ruins are located at a raised point in the Baztan valley and can be accessed without special facilities. Wear appropriate footwear since the ground can be uneven in places.
