An exceptional archaeological site. The oldest iron mine of the Pyrenees in the Basque Country, in Saint-Martin-d'Arrossa, is worth discovering.

The fourteenth-century Gothic church, abandoned during the Revolution, was replaced by this new building, the construction of which began in 1859. The trend was neo-Gothic and the church of St. Vincent is of this time with, however, a technical innovation of avant-garde for its time: the use of cast iron for the supports of the wooden galleries. On the outside, on a Latin cross plan, nave flanked by two aisles; pentagonal chevet framed by two sacristies; square bell tower-porch, surmounted by a spire completed in 1869; perron and exterior stairs.
