In Leintz-Gatzaga, Soran jauregia is a Baroque building with a history dating back to the 16th century.

Located at Santiago kalea 3, Soran jauregia is a historic building in Leintz-Gatzaga. It is also known as Indianokoa. The building is a beautiful palace that consists of two floors, and its architecture is characterized by the Baroque style.

The history of the palace dates back to the 16th century, when the old Soran jauregia was built. During that time, the palace served as a place of rest for the secretaries of kings and queens who passed through Leintz-Gatzaga. Later, one of the Soran family's descendants demolished the palace and rebuilt it with stone in Navarre. In 1764, the current Soran jauregia was raised on the same site as the old one. Between 2006 and 2007, the building was renovated and now houses a hotel.

The building features three balconies on the first floor, with the middle one being larger than the others. The second floor has three windows. At the back, a wooden balcony crosses the entire facade looking toward the Deba river valley, and there is a beautiful viewing point on the ground floor.
