Castillo de Portilla, Medieval castle ruins near Zambrana, Spain

The castle stands on elevated terrain, featuring remains of a central tower and an underground water storage system near limestone cliffs.

Built in 1040 as a defensive structure for the Kingdom of Navarre, the castle changed hands to become part of the Kingdom of Castile in the 13th century.

The castle appears as a central element on the coat of arms of Álava province, representing its historical significance in the region's identity.

Visitors can reach the castle through marked hiking paths that connect it with the Castle of Lanos de Ocio in the southeastern Añana region.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed continuous human occupation dating back to the Iron Age, preceding the medieval fortress construction.
