A beautiful, perfectly restored building. It's a shame it's private and can't be visited.

We have news of this population since 1093, since it appears in some deeds by which Don Lope, lord of Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa, Álava and Nájera, donated his possessions to his children, among whom was Toda, lady of Anguciana. Since the 14th century it was the Lordship of the Salcedo family, who inhabited the Torre Fuerte, of which the south entrance and some loopholes are preserved. In addition to the Torre Fuerte de los Salcedo (14th century), in the Gothic style, other places of interest in Anguciana are the church of San Martín, from the 16th century, renovated in the 17th century (two chapels in the first section, lower part of the tower, doorway and apse), the 18th century (chapel of the second section) and the 20th century (upper bodies of the tower) and the hermitages of Santa María de Oreca, from the 17th century and of La Esclavitud.
