BIZKAIGANE


Bizkaigane
 
 This is a hermitage situated at the top of the mountain Bizkaigane, Errigoiti. It is about 20 kilometres away from Mungia.

In the old times this building was built by the people of the village, near 1700. As we can see, there is a picture of the Basque Country which has engraved a symbol,  “Lauburu”, which has cultural meaning for Basque people.

This building has been used by people nearby to pray and nowadays is also used sometimes. It is also a symbol of Christianity.
