Cerco de Artajona, Medieval defensive complex in Artajona, Spain.

The walled enclosure stretches 700 meters with nine remaining square towers and two preserved entrance gates, San Miguel and Remagua.

The fortification was constructed in 1085 by the canons of Saint Sernin of Toulouse after Bishop Pedro de Roda of Pamplona donated Artajona.

The Gothic portal of San Saturnino Church features twelve archivolts and carved scenes depicting the martyrdom of San Saturnino and Queen Juana of Navarra.

Located 456 meters above sea level, the fortress provides extensive views of the surrounding Navarra region through its defensive observation points.

An underground medieval water cistern measuring seven by four meters was discovered on the north side of the church complex.
