history
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Isturitz and Oxocelhaya caves were found, which extend over the territories of the municipalities of Isturits and Saint-Martin-d'Arberoue. It is estimated that people have been visiting them since the Moustérien Age over 30,000 years ago.
Around 1249 the village took its shape and was considered the capital of the Arberoue valley. The court of the Bailliage gathered here and ruled on cases in which nobles were involved. John II of Aragon and his wife, Blanka of Navarra , wanted to secure the border with Gascony and in 1435 ennobled 128 houses in the Arberouetal for this purpose. This relieved the families of their obligation to pay the fief , but on the other hand did not give them the right to a seat on the Navarre Estates . In Saint-Martin-d'Arberoue, this affected 23 houses and with a few exceptions all of them in the village. 1657 was the manor of Saint-Martin-d'Arberoue to Baronat raised, the king of Navrarre shelter. With the reorganization of the territories at the beginning of the French Revolution , Saint-Martin-d'Arberoue became the capital of the canton in the district of Saint-Palais for a short time .

coat of arms
According to Guy Ascarat, heraldist and historian, the coat of arms can be interpreted as follows:
It is the coat of arms of the first lords of Saint-Martin-d'Arberoue. The fur of the ermine was a luxury product in the Middle Ages and wearing was regulated. That is why it is a symbol of the exercise of power. Only sovereigns, members of the royal family, the Pairs of France and certain high-ranking officials were allowed to wear.
Population development
After a peak in the number of inhabitants of around 700 at the beginning of the 19th century, the number fell to around 280 with short recovery phases by the 1980s. As a result, moderate growth has been recorded to this day.

Attractions
- Parish church dedicated to Martin of Tours . The date of construction of the previous simple building is not known. It is believed that it existed before the Huguenot Wars at the end of the 16th century and it is possible that the damage in this dispute led to a complete or partial reconstruction of the parish church in the years 1866 and 1867 in the center of the parish at the cemetery . During this work, two were glass windows of the glass painter Pierre-Gustave Dagrand from Bayonne created. The church is equipped with a wooden gallery with rows of benches on two levels, which surrounds the single-nave nave on three sides. A bell gable rises up on the west facade . The long building ends in the east with an apse , under which the sacristy is located in the basement . The white plastered outer walls contrast with the red hollow bricks. This interplay of colors can often be found in sacred buildings as well as in large aristocratic houses in the region. The interior of the church contains a baroque altarpiece from the 17th or 18th century. Its tabernacle is richly decorated with gilded plant motifs and small serpentine columns. Two double columns with capitals form a frame around the reredos, the panel of which shows putti heads in the background . An oculus in the apse with its colored glass window is integrated into the overall work.
- House of Pekoetxea. It has two floors and an attic on a rectangular floor plan. Its roof has three surfaces, one horizontal in the middle and two sloping sides. It shows several peculiarities of the houses of Lower Navarra, its whitewashed outer walls, its gate lined with stones made of sandstone or the wall corners provided with toothed stone , which emphasize the general impression of robustness. Wooden elements such as the beams that hold the roof overhang, door leaves or shutters are painted in the red ox blood colors traditionally used in the Basque Country.
- Isturitz and Oxocelhaya caves. Of the three caves Isturitz, Oxocelhaya and Erberua, only the first two are open to the public from mid-March to mid-November.
