Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de la Encina, Arceniega, Catholic sanctuary in Artziniega, Spain

The sanctuary features three naves of varying heights divided by pillars, with star-shaped vaults covering an octagonal head section.

Archaeological findings at the sanctuary site reveal Roman settlements dating from the 4th to 6th centuries before the current structure's completion in 1498.

The main altar contains a wooden Virgin sculpture from the 14th century, displayed within an early 16th-century Flemish Gothic style altarpiece.

The Sacred Museum opens to visitors during weekends from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, with additional information available at the Artziniega Tourist Office.

A 500-year-old holm oak tree stands next to the northern facade, recognized as a singular tree by the Basque Government.
