Mendoza Tower is the typical example of fortified tower-house. Residence for more than a century of the Mendoza Family, one of the most distinguished families. Iñigo López de Mendoza ordered its construction in the early 13th century.

The tower, with civil Gothic features and five floors, stands out from the architectural framework and a wall surrounds the compound with four cubes in its corners.

Once the Mendozas left the tower, it operated as a prison. In 1963 was restored and got back its ancient magnificence and it held the Museum of Alava's Heraldry until 2007, when it was closed to the public as it did not fulfil the accessibility rules.

Very well kept & pretty village, parking for motorhomes overnight at the back of the tower, quiet & flat with nice views.

La Torre del Infantado o Torre de Mendoza, en Mendoza (Araba) es una típica casa fuerte fortificada, junto al puente medieval sobre el río Laña, edificada en el s. XIII por don Íñigo López de Mendoza (aprox. 1175-1250), IV señor de Llodio, casa solar de los Mendoza, que vivieron en ella, hasta que marcharon a la corte con la concesión del ducado del Infantado (1475), dejando alcaides de la familia y merinos, ejerciendo poder jurisdiccional hasta el s. XVI cuando Mendoza pasa a ser territorio de realengo. Los duques del Infantado mantuvieron la posesión de la torre hasta 1856 que la vendieron al vitoriano don Bruno Martínez de Aragón y Fernández de Gamboa. Restaurada en 1962 por la diputación tras acuerdo con la familia posesora. Acogió el Museo de Heráldica de Araba, que fue cerrado (2007) por no cumplir la normativa de accesibilidad y no poder ser modificado. En 2012, tras 50 años bajo la jurisdicción de la Diputación de Araba, fue devuelta a sus propietarios (familias Martínez de Aragón y Echanove). Torre de 21 m. de altura rodeada por un perímetro amurallado de más de 100 m, 2 m. de espesor y con 4 cubos en...

Una pena que esté cerrado (al menos temporalmente) desde 2007, al parecer por no presentar una accesibilidad adecuada (yo diría que buena parte de los castillos de este país no lo son, pero bueno). Levantado en el siglo XIII por la omnipresente y omnipotente familia Mendoza (participaron en la batalla de las Navas de Tolosa entre otros), sufrió modificaciones en el XV. Es una mezcla de vivienda y torre fortificada, con una muralla exterior de planta cuadrada y cuatro cubos en las esquinas. El entorno es muy bonito pues pasa el río Oka al lado. En su interior hay un museo de heráldica vasca. De...

Muy cerca de Vitoria, aparcamiento fácil, todo muy bien cuidado y conservado. El castillo señala el lugar de nacimiento de un linaje poderoso de la Castilla medieval y renacentista, los Mendoza. Y el edificio alberga el Museo de la Heráldica Vasca, realmente espectacular.
