Being a city built from the 12th century, among other things because it is a crossroads, we will see the different references of power that are still preserved in the city that has evolved: from the old cathedral which is the oldest, to the Palace of Ajuria Enea, which is the most current.
You will learn about the different powerful families and their palaces, the reason for two cathedrals or why Vitoria appears in the Spanish deck... A walk through where power never sleeps...
