Historical milestone · Castillonuevo/Gazteluberri, Sangüesa, Navarra

Image of Castillonuevo/Gazteluberri, not of the place itself.

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.
