Basagain:remainsofaprehistoricsettlement
On Basagain’s vantage point a walled settlement was located here on the Iron Age, about 2,000 to 2,500 years ago. This site was discovered in 1989. Archaeological digs take place every year, where what it could be the Basque Country’s first prehistorical urban map was found. Many other pieces found here are displayed at San Telmo museum in St. Sebastian, or kept at the Centre of Patrimonial Colections.
Oldfarmhouses
Anoeta has numerous scattered farmhouses, some of them with great patrimonial value, due to their architecture and history. For example Ardindegi –from the 15th century, and one of the firsts in Anoeta– or Ateaga –16th century farmhouse halfway to Asteasu and with a large coat of arms on the facade–.
