Sanctuary of the Virgin of Arrate

The sanctuary contains a rectangular nave with wooden vaulted ceilings and stone walls that reflect traditional Basque architectural elements throughout its structure.

The first documented records of religious activity at this site date back to 1498, while the current building was constructed in the early 17th century.

The sanctuary holds the image of the Virgin from the 14th century, displaying the transition between Romanesque and Gothic artistic periods in religious sculpture.
