Castillo de Santia, Medieval castle in Erla, Spain.

The castle consists of a rectangular tower measuring 7 by 5 meters within a trapezoidal walled enclosure on an elevation southwest of Erla.

The first documented reference to the castle dates from 1092 when King Sancho Ramirez transferred its church to the monastery of San Juan de la Peña.

The fortification represents Gothic military architecture with pointed arches and carefully carved stone blocks demonstrating medieval construction techniques.

The ruins remain visible from both Erla and Ejea de los Caballeros, with access requiring permission from the Erla Town Hall due to structural instability.

The tower maintains visual connections with Sora Castle and Erla Castle, forming part of a historical defense network in the Cinco Villas region.
