Iturissa

Europe

Iturissa was a Roman town in the province of Hispania Tarraconensis, in what is now the Navarre region of northern Spain. First mentioned by Ptolemy in the second century AD as a town of the Vascones, its name comes from the Basque word Iturritza, meaning source or spring. It was later recorded in the Antonine Itinerary as a waypoint on the Roman road from Asturica Augusta to Burdigala. The town was inhabited from the first to the fourth century AD before being abandoned, and archaeological excavations placed its site near the present-day community of Burguete-Auritz in 2011.
