OLD CITY

The visit begins in Txurruka Plaza, where the statue of the hero Cosme Damián Churruca, who died in the Battle of Trafalgar, is enthroned. The 19th-century Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, which preserves a painting by Zurbarán, and the Baroque Galdona Palace (17th-century) are also worth a visit. In Calle Conde de Motrico we find the admirable Arrietakua Palace (18th century) with its delicate wrought iron balconies. Right next door, the Zabiel Palace has a beautiful Baroque façade. Finally, on the way up to Atxukale you can enjoy a wonderful view of the port.
