Attractions
- Church of Amorots, dedicated to Lucia of Syracuse . There has been a church or chapel in Amorots since the 12th century, but initially in honor of Vincent of Valencia . Not far from the village there is a spring, the water of which is said to have healing properties, especially for eye diseases. The village population consecrated the local church in honor of Lucia of Syracuse, who is called by believers when they have eye problems. The current church is built in neo-Gothic style from 1880. In the cemetery next to the church, disc-shaped grave crosses can be seen, some of which date from the 17th century. These traditional steles were placed at the head of the deceased against the rising sun, but never with the name of the deceased and rarely with the date of death. The steles were developed in this form between the 16th and 17th centuries instead of grave slabs and only replaced by Christian grave crosses in the 18th century.
- Church of Succos, dedicated to Martin of Tours . There has also been a community in Succos since the 12th century. The present church was built in the 17th century on a walled square. Disc-shaped grave crosses can also be seen in the adjacent cemetery. The sexton's house has a certain peculiarity. One of the house walls is a frontón , a wall against which the ball is played in pelota . In the old days of the Basque Country, the job of sexton was carried out by an unmarried or widowed woman. In the 17th century, Henry IV of Navarre entrusted Pierre de Rosteguy de Lancre with the management of a commission with the task of "freeing the population from heresy". From then on women were persecuted as witches or expressions of Satanism .
