Gernika, Administrative municipality in Busturialdea region, Basque Country, Spain.

Located northeast of Bilbao at an elevation of 10 meters, Guernica y Luno sits along the Rio de Plencia near the Bay of Biscay inlet.

The town experienced a devastating aerial attack on April 26, 1937, when German and Italian forces bombed the area during the Spanish Civil War.

The Tree of Guernica stands as a traditional meeting point where local assemblies gathered to discuss regional matters and receive royal privileges.

The municipality maintains a weekly Monday market that brings together residents and visitors for commerce and social interactions in the town center.

The town houses the Parliament building constructed between 1824 and 1833, alongside the Santa María la Antigua church established in 1418.
