Atxa

The archaeological site of Atxa stands at 524 meters elevation, offering clear views of the surrounding Zadorra valley and ancient defensive positions.

Excavations in 1982 revealed a Roman military camp from the Flavian period, with barracks arranged in four connected modules for soldiers.

The archaeological findings include domestic tools, medical instruments, and military equipment that demonstrate the daily activities of Roman soldiers in the region.

The site forms part of Zadorra Park, with designated walking paths and information panels explaining the historical features of the settlement.

Five separate buildings connected by streets mark the final phase of the military settlement, including three storage structures near the river.
