Carrasca milenaria de Lecina, Thousand-year-old holm oak in Lecina, Spain

The Carrasca milenaria de Lecina extends its branches over 28 meters wide and reaches a height of 16.5 meters in the Huesca region.

This millenary tree has stood for approximately 1100 years, surviving through centuries of Spanish history while the Carruesco family protected it from charcoal production.

The tree holds a central place in local traditions, with residents celebrating weddings and community gatherings beneath its extensive canopy throughout generations.

Visitors can reach the tree by following the stone-walled path next to the church cemetery, with a four-minute walk from the center of Lecina.

The oak produces up to 600 kilograms of acorns during winter seasons, earning it the local nickname La Castañera among the 13 inhabitants of Lecina.
