Castro de Malmasin
Arrigorriaga, Spain, Spain
Castro de Malmasin in Arrigorriaga, Bizkaia province, Basque Country, Spain, is an Iron Age fortified settlement from the Celtiberian period (4th-2nd centuries BC), strategically positioned atop a hill overlooking the Nervión River valley for defense.
Excavations reveal Iron Age structures like homes, defensive walls of sandstone, ceramics, iron tools, and social organization remnants, with possible medieval reuse as "Maluecín" castle mentioned in 1179 peace accords between Castile's Alfonso VIII and Navarre's Sancho VI.
Reactivated during the Spanish Civil War by Republican forces with trenches against Franco's advance, it preserves visible ramparts and bunkers, planned as an archaeological park amid stunning highland views.
