Church of Santa María de Lezama

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Santa María was built in the 16th century. Since then it has undergone several renovations. Inside we find vaults, five altars and a beautiful continuous atrium, originally used as a burial place.

The Gothic and Baroque styles are those that identify the architecture of the temple. Inside the portico is the Antechurch Table, whose former function was as a meeting space for the municipal community. The interior is divided into three naves and at its feet the tall choir on a carpanel arch stands out.

The main chapel fully completes its image with the presence of a baroque altarpiece.

Kurtzea La Cruz Hermitage

Highlight • Religious Site

Many churches are closed, out of fear, as protection. But a glimpse grant some insight. Through open windows and doors. Like the Charterhouse "To the Cross"!

Zamudio

Highlight • Settlement

Zamudio was an important communication hub, since it was at the crossroads of the roads that linked Bilbao with other towns such as Bermeo, Mungia, Plentzia and Larrabezúa.

In the fourteenth century, the Zamudio lineage was one of the most powerful in Biscay and was in constant conflict with its enemies, the house of Butrón.
