Castillo de Muñatones Municipalite de San Martin Muskiz , 48550
Located in the San Martín district of the Muskiz municipality, this rustic fortress has a medieval armed forces approach of construction. The Muñatones Castle was acknowledged as a historic and artistic shrine in 1944. Restoration was done four years later when it was obtained by the Statutory Deputation of Vizcaya . The castle's image matches up primarily with that of a medieval fortress occupied through its beginnings by the Muñatones family and later by the Salazars . Bordered by grassland and swamps, the hallmark of this castle that makes it stand out is the peripheral fortification, built in with walls whose crucial function was defensive in nature. Today however, this tower is in ruined condition, yet still stands solid with 75 meters high and 3 meter thick of enduring wall.
