Conjunto juradero
The Gerediaga conjunto juradero is formed by the San Salvador and San Clemente Chapels, the Campa Foral, the oak tree and a renaissance calvary.
The representatives of the elizates that made up the region would sit on the stones in the Campa Foral, with each stone representing one vote. The towns of Durango and Elorrio did not form part of the Merindad (or County) and only participated occasionally during what were known as the ‘Assemblies of the 14 towns’.
