Castle of Irulegi, Medieval fortress in Laquidáin, Spain.
The fortress stands on a mountain summit, featuring thick stone walls and strategic observation points that overlook the surrounding Navarre landscape.
Written records from 1276 document the castle's existence, while in 1494 Queen Catalina I of Navarre ordered its demolition due to political tensions.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered the Irulegi hand artifact in 2021, indicating Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements in the area.
The castle remains are accessible through marked hiking paths, with information about guided tours available at the local tourism office.
The castle maintained visual communication with other regional strongholds, forming part of an early warning system in the Kingdom of Pamplona.
