Alegia

Town Hall square

The town hall building was built in the 18th century, with Barroque style and porticoed facade where the coat of arms and the clock stand out. Behind it there’s a large cowbell sculpture. Tomas Ugartemendia’s work reminds us of the traditional job of cowbell making, reason why the locals are nicknamed Txintxarri (cowbell in Basque).

Roman bridge

One of Alegia’s iconic images. Zubi Zahar bridge, as it is known by locals, was built at the end of the 17th century and had to be partially rebuilt after the 1983 flooding. There’s a cross from a Stations of the Cross that goes all the way to Abaltzisketa.

San Juan Bautista church

The construction of San Juan church took around 100 years to complete, finished in 1643. It’s of Gothic-neoclassical style. Inside there’s a Gothic statue of Christ, and a peculiar organ.

Antique houses

In front of the church, on the village’s main street, San Juan street, different buildings remind us of the popular Basque architecture.

Santo Cristo chapel

A simple chapel, built in masonry and rough ashlar, and protected by a fence. The coat of arms located on top of the door stands out, as well as a small bell. It is said that it’s related to The Way of St. James.

Langaurre picnic area

Recreational area located on Aldaba Txiki mountain, at an altitude of 250m. Includes a water fountain, tables and grills, to enjoy a nice summer evening.

An etnographic bread display

Route 33 Gourmet, located on Alegia’s industrial park, tells the story of bread and cereal in Euskadi, since prehistory until the 21st century, through local etnographic material: from the harvest and milling of cereal to the making anf baking of bread.
