What to see and do in Castillonuevo/Gazteluberri

Castillonuevo/Gazteluberri
Village
A late medieval settlement, probably from the late 12th century, which arose when residents of Elesa moved to settle next to a defensive fortress on the eastern border of Navarre. With 14 inhabitants in 2025, it is the least populous municipality in Navarre; it only achieved administrative independence from Navascués in 1859.
Iglesia de San Martín de Castillonuevo
Monument
The parish church in the upper part of the village, which preserves medieval walls despite 16th-century and Baroque alterations. Its 18th-century Rococo altarpiece includes scenes of San Martín sharing his cloak, Pentecost, and the Crucifixion, along with a Gothic carving of the Virgen de las Victorias from an old hermitage.
Dolmen del Pasomuerto
Monument
A megalithic monument of the Leire-Illón station, with a circular tumulus of central stones with no visible chamber slabs, studied around 1952 by the archaeologist Juan Maluquer de Motes.
El castillo demolido de Castillonuevo
Historical milestone
The municipality takes its name from the medieval fortress that gave rise to it, with castellans documented since the 13th century and a garrison of ten crossbowmen in 1362. In the 16th century, Fernando the Catholic ordered the destruction of Navarre's border castles, including this one, of which no visible remains survive today.
