Artziniega is a medieval town in Álava declared a Historic-Artistic Monumental Site. It boasts a well-preserved old town of cobbled streets, palaces, and stately towers. Highlights include the 16th-century Ortiz de Molinillo y Velasco Tower, the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción with its Renaissance façade, and the shrine of Nuestra Señora de la Encina, built in 1498. The Ethnographic Museum, housed in a renovated former municipal school, offers a tour of ancient rural trades and local culture from the 19th and 20th centuries.
