Azkoitia is a settlement
that is replete with history. The Mari-Kurtz dolmens
in Izarraitz, speak to us of the existence of human
presence in the Neolithic Era (2500 BC - 1200 BC). On
the other hand, we find the structures typical of the
Peninsula called castros (walled settlement), whose
materials can be dated to the 2nd Iron Age (500 BC –
100 BC).
Azkoitia has conserved a large number of monumental
buildings and is found in a natural setting of magic
forests and urban beaches that are hard to put into
words to convey their loveliness. It is also close to
Loiola with its Baroque-style building complex: the
Loiola Basilica, the Basque Railway Museum in Azpeitia,
what is known as the Iron Valley in Legazpi with the
Lenbur Museum-Territory. Its proximity to San Sebastián
and endless sites of tourist interest such as the Bilboa
Guggenheim Museum, Zumaia, Deba, Zarautz, Getaria, all
make it an ideal starting point for discovering both
Gipuzkoa and the entire Basque Country.
The Larramendi Torrea is included in the inventory of the
Building Historic-Artistic Heritage of Gipuzkoa.
The former tower-house is valued for its door in the form of
a pointed arch with a keystone and small pointed and arched
windows. These architectural elements that are distributed over
the north, east and south façades indicate a construction of
the current building from around the beginning of the 16th century.
The pointed bays draw the eye due to the primitive cutting technique
used, while the windows reveal their pointed tops cut in a monolithic
lintel without any structural function.
