Towns

Here in the comarca (county) of Debagoiena, at the foot of the Descarga massif, is a locality rich in ancient monuments of considerable interest. Highlights among them include the church of Uzarraga, one of the oldest in the historical region of Gipuzkoa, the chapels of Santa Agueda, Nuestra Señora de la Antigua, San Marcial and San Blas, and several highly picturesque mills (Altzarte and Lizarraga among them). The crosses of Antzuola are also worth a visit; dating from the 18th century, they are Baroque in style.

 

Old Town

If we walk around the Old Town, we will be able to admire and visit the Kalebarren Tower, the monastery of the Marist Fathers, the Baroque Town Hall with the town's coat of arms on its façade and the Ondarre Square. Apart from the significant heritage, Antzuola's natural setting offers the opportunity to go for long walks through the neighbourhoods of Basalde, Irimoegi, Lizarraga, Galartza, and so on.

 

The patron saint festival is held around the middle of July and the most important event those days is the Alarde del Moro (Arms Parade), a military parade that represents the battle a group of local soldiers over the Moorish army in 920 at Valdejunquera, a valley standing between the villages of Salinas de Oro and Muez in Navarre.
