Sabinar de Calatañazor, Ancient juniper forest reserve in Calatañazor, Spain
The reserve contains juniper trees reaching heights of 14 meters, with trunks spanning five meters in diameter across limestone terrain at 1000 meters elevation.
The forest dates back to the Tertiary period, with some individual juniper specimens reaching ages of more than two thousand years in this protected area.
Local architectural heritage includes adobe houses with juniper beams, reflecting the deep connection between the forest resources and traditional building methods.
The Park House 'El Sabinar', located in the former Santa Coloma Palace tower, provides maps, schedules, and guided information for visitors exploring the reserve.
The hollow trunks of ancient junipers serve as natural shelters for bats, dormice, and nocturnal birds throughout the forest reserve.
