Tower-Palace of the Varona

This building is a unique historic construction where we can distinguish two parts: the palace and the tower.

The latter is built in ashlar.The impressive Varona family's palace-tower is a spectacular example of military architecture of the 14th century, and it is said to be the best preserved fortress in Alava. It is built in a plateau, thereby towering above the landscape.

The tower stands out on one of the sides with bartizans projecting from the corners and with modillions. The south wall features a machicolation and a hipped roof whose eaves cover the crenellated area.

Two sides of the palace are attached to the tower, which is surrounded by battlements and a ditch.

Completely restored and turned into a museum, the Valdegovía Tourist Office arranges guided tours to the palace where the story of the tower is told and a live recreation of the palace is also displayed.
