Town Hall

The town of Bergara’s origins lie in the 13th century around the site of the parish of San Pedro de Ariznoa.

The lineage of the Gabiria was one of the most celebrated in Gipuzkoa.

These two houses on Bidekurutzeta are a good example of the style used in the building of town houses that prevailed in the 17th century, and of which the old quarter of Bergara preserves a good number. 

The tower is a round edifice that combines Late Medieval building features with other ornament of a clearly Baroque style.

The palace was originally an austere building that was strategically positioned at the end of a terrace of houses on the boundary of the old medieval town. 

This building, which was originally a renowned college belonging to the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, became the Royal Seminary of Bergara in the last quarter of the 18th century.

The Town Hall is an elegant building by the architect Lucas de Longa, from the end of the 17th century.
