Irukurutzeta, Mountain summit in Gipuzkoa, Spain

The Irukurutzeta summit rises 897 meters above sea level, featuring three distinct peaks along an east-west ridge in the Basque Mountains range.

Archaeological findings from 2016 revealed remnants of a Roman military camp near the summit, indicating strategic importance during ancient times.

The name Irukurutzeta derives from Basque words meaning 'place of three crosses', reflecting the linguistic heritage of this mountainous region.

Multiple hiking routes lead to the summit from surrounding towns, with trails connecting to the 20-kilometer Dolmen Route through the Mazelaegi ridge.

The mountain served as the namesake for a Ferrocarriles Vascongados electric locomotive that operated until its decommissioning in 1999.
