El Castillar de Mendavia, Archaeological site in Mendavia, Spain.
The archaeological complex sits on a hilltop northeast of Mendavia, containing remains of ancient dwellings and ceramic production facilities from prehistoric periods.
Archaeological excavations between 1977 and 1982 revealed multiple occupation levels, with carbon dating indicating the last settlement phase occurred during the sixth century BCE.
The settlement's architectural elements and ceramic production facilities demonstrate advanced technological capabilities of early inhabitants in the Navarre region.
Recent restoration projects since 2017 have made the site more accessible, with reconstructed features providing educational insights into ancient construction methods.
The site contains preserved ceramic kilns that showcase industrial practices from the Iron Age, with one kiln reconstructed in 2020 for educational purposes.
