Torre de doña Ochanda, Medieval tower in Alde Zaharra, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
The Torre de doña Ochanda stands as a stone tower with defensive features, combining residential and military architecture from the medieval period.
Built around 1500, the tower became the residence of Andrés Martínez de Iruña who transformed the defensive structure into a mansion for his daughter.
The Museum of Natural Sciences currently occupies the tower, displaying geological specimens and regional flora and fauna of the Basque Country.
The museum opens daily except Mondays from 10:00 to 18:30, with a midday break between 14:00 and 16:00, and charges 3 euros for entry.
The museum houses an exceptional collection of amber from the Cretaceous period containing preserved insects and bird feathers from 115 million years ago.
