Miranda Castle, Medieval fortification on Picota hill in Miranda de Ebro, Spain
Miranda Castle stands 500 meters above sea level, offering views of the surrounding mountains and city from its trapezoidal structure with multiple vertices.
The construction began in 1449 under Pedro Sarmiento and was completed in 1485 by stonecutter Juan Guas following a request from Tello of Castille.
The castle represents a significant military architecture example, featuring defensive elements including a barbican system with multiple entrance halls.
The north wall remains visible between battery installations, while other sections, including an east-west wall and circular tower, are covered by vegetation.
In 1903, the city council dismantled parts of the castle, using its stones to construct other buildings including a former bullring.
