Azkoitia, Municipal town in Gipuzkoa province, Basque Country, Spain

Located in the upper Urola river valley at 113 meters elevation, Azkoitia extends across 54 square kilometers of mountainous Basque terrain.

The municipality received its official charter in 1346, marking the beginning of its administrative status within the Gipuzkoa province of northern Spain.

The residents of Azkoitia maintain the Euskara language and participate in regular local festivals, including the annual San Juan Bautista celebrations.

The town center provides essential services with a network of small businesses, while regular bus connections facilitate travel to major Basque cities.

The Balda Tower, purchased by Martin Garcia de Licona in the 15th century, transformed from a military fortress into a local courthouse.
