Castillo-palacio de Gorraiz

Monument · Valle de Egüés/Eguesibar, Comarca de Pamplona, Navarra

Image of Valle de Egüés/Eguesibar, not of the place itself.

A former palace of the concejo of Gorraiz, with its current structure dating from the 16th century, which originally bore the arms of the Esparza family. In 1756 it was acquired by an indiano (a returned emigrant made rich in the Americas), Juan Navarro Tafalla, a knight of the Order of Santiago, along with the lordship of the village. It held some strategic importance in the defense of Pamplona from the east, alongside a fortification on Mount Miravalles. Today, well preserved though altered, it functions as a restaurant.
