Torre de los Anda: A Surprising 500-Year-Old Structure in Vitoria-Gasteiz's

Walking the rambling streets of medieval Vitoria-Gasteiz hides a surprise: a unique 500-year-old building in the city's historic district, now known simply as The Tower of the Anda.

The Tower of the Anda is one of the oldest buildings in Vitoria-Gasteiz, dating back to the 15th century. Next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the tower, once part of the city’s defense system, now belongs to a private owner. Its architecture, boasting a unique blend of Gothic and Scottish elements, makes it stand out. Over the centuries, the tower has witnessed various changes, yet it remains a testament to the city’s rich history and a popular tourist attraction in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
