San Esteban de Deyo, Medieval castle in Villamayor de Monjardín, Spain.

The stone fortress rises atop a 890-meter hill, featuring remaining defensive walls measuring 62 meters in length and 30 meters in width.

Following Muslim control under the Banu Qasi dynasty, King Sancho I of Navarre captured the strategic fortification in 914, establishing a new regional frontier point.

The castle grounds contain the Ermita de San Esteban, a Baroque hermitage constructed in the 17th century using stones from the original medieval structure.

The castle site provides direct access to walking paths along the French Way section of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route through Navarre.

The fortress holds the remains of King Sancho Garcés I and houses an old cistern within a vaulted ceiling structure from the medieval period.
