Of very particular interest ti Romanesque art. There are some very interesting red frescoes inside, dipicting, regular life, war, religious rituals, etc. It is not open, it must be seen on a guided tour.
(Translated by Google) What would be the surprise of Juan José Lekuona, parish priest of the town of Alaitza in Álava, when in 1982, while cleaning the peeling ceiling of the church vaults (the result of the deterioration of countless layers of lime and plaster), he discovered, when removing with the spatula one of those plaques, a rider on horseback painted in intense red on what seemed to be the primitive ceiling of the Church...And then another and another and another more... The entire vault of the apse and past the first transverse arch were full of red figures forming a complex scenography that after centuries and centuries, after layers and layers of plaster and mortar, saw the light again. The history of a lineage? As the Burning would say in their song, What is a painting like you doing in a place like this? And it is atypical to find a mural inside a Romanesque church that, far from indoctrinating in religion, shows a visual chronicle of civil, military or topics related to the daily life of the nobility. The paintings, dated to the end of the s. XII, they tell us about military confrontations between nobles (among whom is a king), with possible use of mercenaries, the representation of a funeral, perhaps even an attempted kidnapping or murder and above all (a theme that is repeated), the roles of gender performed by women of the nobility in those centuries (12th-13th): childbirth, matronage (female patronage), the cult of the dead and ancestors or the custody of the family lineage (legitimacy and promotion of the lineage), represented in the series of ladies who carry "bread wafers" in their hands and approach to a church, carrying objects and food to a small structure where another has just given birth, or accompanying the deceased at what appears to be a funeral. If we look closely, the masculine is concentrated around the castle while the churches correspond exclusively to the feminine sphere. I just read, surprised, an article by the historian Isabel Mellen, who tells us how the majority of churches in Euskadi at the time belonged to the nobility as a result of matronships, and were therefore "private", acquired and financed by the ladies of the nobility. (such as a mill or a kind of firewood) and that it was the nobility itself that hired the priests as if they were millers or sharecroppers (apart from the religious establishment, whose bishopric, which logically snorted about it, was very far away, in Calahorra). There is extensive female iconography in Basque Romanesque churches (busts and heads on window columns and access arches), which, far from representing saints or biblical characters, would represent women of the nobility that at the time everyone would identify by name and surnames. This fantastic mural (which probably represents the history of a specific lineage, linked to the family that financed and built the church), shows those gender roles that include church matrimony, the display of family lineage and the cult of the dead, in the context of churches of Euskadi in the Early Middle Ages. Anyway, they told us that the building could also have been, originally, a primitive stately tower or palace with a private chapel (which would explain certain architectural elements that sing a little) and that it was later written off and converted into a church after the existing chapel (the mural would be covered in later centuries). A marvel, the panel is like a history comic in which you can see the dresses, the weapons, the civil and religious architecture of the time... Impressive. A gem that I highly recommend. In addition, the Gazeo church is very close, with spectacular 14th century Gothic murals and a couple of dolmens nearby. The "medieval Álava" guide who explained the church to us was very very good, I loved it!!!! Appointment essential. (Original) Cual seria la sorpresa de Juan José Lekuona, párroco del pueblo de Alaitza en Álava, cuando en 1982, mientras limpiaba el techo descascarillado de las bóvedas de la iglesia (resultado del deterioro de incontables capas de cal y yeso), descubría, al quitar con la espátula una de esas placas, un jinete a caballo pintado en rojo intenso sobre lo que parecía ser el techo primitivo de la Iglesia...Y luego otro y otro y otro más... Toda la boveda del ábside y pasado el primer arco fajón, estaban repletos de figuras rojas formando una compleja escenografía que después de siglos y siglos, tras capas y capas de yeso y mortero, veían nuevamente la luz. ¿La historia de un linaje? Como dirían los Burning en su canción, ¿Qué hace una pintura como tú en un sitio como este? Y es que resulta atípico encontrar en el interior de una iglesia romanica un mural que, lejos de adoctrinar en lo religioso, muestre una crónica visual de temas civiles, militares o relacionados con la vida cotidiana de la nobleza. Las pinturas, datadas a finales del s. XII, nos cuentan enfrentamientos militares entre nobles (entre los que se encuentra un rey), con posible empleo de mercenarios, la representación de un funeral, quizá incluso un intento de rapto o asesinato y sobre todo (tema que se repite), los roles de género desempeñados por las mujeres de la nobleza en esos siglos (XII-XIII): el parto, los matronazgos (mecenazgo femenino), el culto a los muertos y ancestros o la custodia del linaje familiar (legitimidad y promoción del linaje), representados en la serie de damas que portan "obleas de pan" en las manos y se acercan a una iglesia, portando objetos y comida a una pequeña estructura donde otra acaba de dar a luz, o acompañando al difunto en lo que parece ser un funeral. Si nos fijamos, lo masculino se concentra alrededor del castillo mientras que las iglesias corresponden exclusivamente al ámbito femenino. Acabo de leer sorprendido un artículo de la historiadora Isabel Mellen, que nos cuenta como la mayoría de iglesias de Euskadi en la época, pertenecían a la nobleza resultado de matronazgos, eran por tanto "privadas", adquiridas y financiadas por las damas de la nobleza (como lo podían ser un molino o una suerte de leña) y que era la propia nobleza la que contrataba a los sacerdotes como si de molineros o aparceros se trataran (al margen del estamento religioso, cuyo obispado, que lógicamente bufaba al respecto, se hallaba muy lejos, en Calahorra). Existe una amplia iconografía femenina en las iglesias románicas vascas (bustos y cabezas en columnas de ventanas y arcos de acceso), que lejos de representar santidades o personajes bíblicos, representaría a mujeres de la nobleza que en su momento todo el mundo identificaría con nombre y apellidos. Este fantástico mural (que probablemente represente la historia de un linaje concreto, vinculado a la familia que financió y construyó la iglesia), muestra esos roles de género que incluyen el matronazgo de iglesias, la exhibición del linaje familiar y el culto a los muertos, en el contexto de las iglesias privadas de Euskadi en la Alta Edad Media. En fin, nos comentaron que el edificio también podría haberse tratado, en origen, de una primitiva torre señorial o palacio con capilla privada (lo que explicaría ciertos elementos arquitectónicos que cantan un poco) y que posteriormente fue amortizada y reconvertida en iglesia a partir de la capilla existente (el mural se taparía en los siglos posteriores). Una maravilla, el panel es como un cómic de historia en el que se pueden observar los vestidos, el armamento, la arquitectura civil y religiosa de la epoca... Impresionante. Una joya que recomiendo encarecidamente. Además, está muy cerca la iglesia de Gazeo, con murales góticos del XIV, espectaculares y un par de dolmenes cerca. La guía de "Álava medieval" que nos explicó la iglesia, fue muy muy buena, me encantó!!!! Imprescindible cita previa.
(Translated by Google) A very interesting place to visit, you have to make an appointment to enter the church since it is not open every day, they usually open it on weekends at 11 and they do the guided tour next to another church that also has paintings from a nearby town. If you like this type of places, it is highly recommended to know the history of these paintings and this place. (Original) Un sitio muy interesante para visitar, hay que pedir hora para poder entrar en la iglesia ya que no está todos los días abierta, por lo general la abren loa fines de semana a las 11 y hacen la visita guiada junto a otra iglesia que también tiene pinturas de un pueblo cercano. Si te gusta este tipo de sitios es muy recomendable conocer la historia de estas pinturas y este lugar.
(Translated by Google) Unique. I have never seen paintings similar to these in a church. There is not a single religious reason except for a funeral. The entire complex looks like a fortress tower belonging to a noble family with a private chapel in which their family history has been painted. Sieges, lighting, Deaths and even an attempted murder. It looks like a medieval neolithic style comic with monochrome and schematic painting. Worthy of seeing and studying. (Original) Única.Nunca he visto unas pinturas semejantes a estas en una iglesia. No hay un solo motivo religioso si exceptuamos un funeral. Todo el conjunto parece una torre fortaleza perteneciente a una familia noble con una capilla privada en la que se ha pintado su historia familiar. Asedios, alumbramiento, Fallecimientos e incluso un intento de asesinato. Parece un cómic medieval de estilo neolítico con pintura monocroma y esquemática.Digna de verse y de estudio.
(Translated by Google) We found it open because there was a guided tour. It would be advisable to call to make the visit or have it opened for you. The guided tour is joint with other churches that are nearby. (Original) Nosotros la encontramos abierta porque había una visita guiada. Sería recomendable llamar para poder hacer la visita o que te la abriera. La visita guiada es conjunta con otras iglesia que están cercanas.
(Translated by Google) A real luxury. One never gets tired of looking at the different scenes. An authentic catalog of medieval scenes. (Original) Un auténtico lujo. No se cansa uno de mirar, las diferentes escenas. Un auténtico catálogo de escenas medievales.
(Translated by Google) Excellent guided tour (Original) Visita guiada excelente

Worth visiting. Free. Nice church nearby/ on the way.
Nice place to stop for a visit if you are passing by. The dolmen just sit in the middle of the hills, very nice view all around.
The stones are cute but it is used as a campsite for the transit traffic.
Good place for a calm, quiet night.
Very interesting stone structure found around this area
(Translated by Google) Fantastic. Dolmen built in the Chalcolithic (4,500 years ago, in 2500 s.C), located on a slight elevation at the foot of the mountain range and dominating a good part of the plain. It is presented free-standing, without a corridor and above all without a tumulus and from what I have been able to read, it is unknown if it had one at any time (as in other dolmens in the Álava area, it was discovered in the first third of the 19th century, and some underwent important modifications although it seems that this one has been preserved quite well). The few materials that were found in the excavations of the 60s have disappeared. As in other Basque megaliths, there are a whole series of legends and mythological beings (witches and lamias) surrounding its construction. Sorginetxe (witch house). Good access, good signage, good parking, good maintenance of the environment. (Original) Fantástico. Dolmen levantado en el Calcolítico (hace 4.500 años, en el 2500 s.C), situado en una ligera elevación a los pies de la sierra y que domina buena parte de la llanura. Se presenta exento, sin corredor y sobre todo sin túmulo y según he podido leer, se ignora si lo tuvo en algún momento (cómo en otros dólmenes de la zona de Álava, fue descubierto en el primer tercio del XIX, y algunos sufrieron importantes modificaciones aunque parece que este se ha conservado bastante bien). Los escasos materiales que se encontraron en las excavaciones de los años 60, handesaparecido. Como en otros megalíticos vascos, hay toda una serie de leyendas y de seres mitológicos (brujas y lamias) alrededor de su construcción. Sorginetxe (casa de brujas). Buen acceso, buena señalización, buen aparcamiento, buen mantenimiento del entorno.
(Translated by Google) This dolmen was built around 2500 BC. It is one of the best preserved megalithic monuments in the Basque country with a height of 2.3 meters. It’s a perfect place to take a break along the highway. (Original) Ce dolmen a été construit vers l’an 2500 avant J.C. Il s’agit d’un des monuments mégalithiques les mieux conservés du pays basque avec une hauteur de 2,3 mètres. C’est un lieu parfait pour faire une pause le long de l'autoroute.
(Translated by Google) It's funny to see, but it's not much. I wouldn't drive miles for it. (Original) Wel grappig om te zien, maar stelt weinig voor. Ik zou er geen kilometers voor omrijden
