Ajangiz Village and Church

Highlight • Settlement

It is located 3 km from Gernika, on the slope of a hill that makes it a natural viewpoint of Gernika and the Oka river plain. It is an essentially rural municipality, with a monumental Church in the Mendieta neighborhood, the central nucleus of the town, in whose surroundings there is also the rectory, the town hall, in neoclassical style.

In 1947 Ajangiz became part of Gernika, until in 1987 the de-annexation commission was formed. That finally took place in 1991, becoming from this date a municipality with its own entity.
