Azkue and Etxezarreta farmhouses

Azkue, originally from the 16th century, is one of Ibarra’s oldest farmhouses. It took the actual appearance on the 18th century, with a triangle shaped facade where the Barroque coat of arms and a large solar clock are placed. Going up we can find Etxezarreta farmhouse. In this hill the first neighbourhood of Ibarra was located in the 13th century, together with the first church and graveyard.
