Irouléguy

Passing through Irouléguy, you can discover the Arrondo and Artxuita dolmens. Built on the eastern escarpment of the Jarra mountain, these Neolithic buildings are classified as Historic Monuments. A gatzelu zahar, a protohistoric stronghold, is also visible nearby.

The religious heritage of Irouléguy is also not lacking in charm, notably with the Saint-André chapel from the 12th century and rebuilt in the 17th century. The Saint-Vincent church dates from the end of the 19th century. It takes place on the remains of a first building from the mid-Middle Ages.

In the adjoining cemetery, it is possible to discover funerary slabs as well as discoidal steles.

In September, the Irouléguy vineyard festival takes place with its various events and tastings.

In October, the town hosts certain events of the Points de vue street art festival co-organized by the City of Bayonne and the Basque Country Community.
