Itziarko Andre Mariaren eliza

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Itziar displays Renaissance and Gothic architectural elements with detailed stained glass windows and elaborate altarpieces inside the building.

The first written mention of Itziar dates back to 1027, while the current temple structure was constructed in the 16th century with local limestone walls.

The church houses a 13th-century Romanesque image of Our Lady of Itziar, which receives devotion from fishermen across the Basque Country through regular pilgrimages.

The church serves as a significant waypoint on the Camino del Norte pilgrimage route, offering visitors access to accommodations and dining options in the surrounding area.

A limestone sphere embedded in the main facade represents a projectile taken by sailors during the Catholic Monarchs period, according to local traditions.
