Castillo de Tiebas, Medieval castle ruins in Tiebas, Spain.
Castillo de Tiebas is a ruined stone fortress positioned on a hilltop between two mountain ranges in northern Spain. The site displays walls, towers, and foundations that reveal the layout of a royal defensive structure built for surveillance and control.
The fortress was built in the mid-13th century under King Teobaldo I and served the Kingdom of Navarre as a royal residence, treasury, and archive. The site played a central role in the kingdom's medieval administration and defense strategy.
The castle forms part of a network of medieval fortifications that shaped regional defense strategies. Visitors can see how such structures anchored the identity and security of the Kingdom of Navarre.
The site lies about 14 kilometers from Pamplona and is easily reached from the N-121 road. Parking, picnic tables, and drinking water are available for visitor comfort.
Excavations between 1998 and 2012 revealed an underground wine cellar with stone vaulting beneath the fortress. This discovery shows that the site served not only as a defensive stronghold but also played an important role in regional wine production.
