San Martin de Tours church
Gothic style, with a 13th century Roman style arcade. The Reinassance altarpiece and organ are also very unique. On the back side there’s Berastegi or Jauregi tower.
Three chapels
San Sebastian chapel, from the 14th century, guards Berastegi from the top of a hill with great views. Very close to it, in the road, San Anton chapel is located, built in 1675. And going up, in the middle of the forest, San Lorenzo chapel, with also beautiful views.
Town Hall
One of Berastegi’s iconic heritage sites. Built in 1734, is a Barroque style building made in stone and wood. Main points are the coat of arms and the small fronton court on the portico.
Lindozulo, a temporary lake
On Aintzerga neighbourhood, halfway to Leitza (Navarre), a sporadic pool appears on very rainy days and disappears when it stops. A whim of nature worth visiting. You may be lucky!
Urto picnic area
Recreational area with grills at the end of Plazaola green way, on the border with Navarre. In summer many families and groups of friends visit it for a refreshing bath in the river.
