The historic town of Gernika is very important for the Basque people. Once part of the Kingdom of Navarre, each Basque territory had its own autonomy and government.

In this old town of Gernika, the parlament of Biscay met to pass its laws, and in this very place the King of Spain would take an oath promising to respect the autonomy of the Basqueland. A symbol of the Basque independence rises up here, the Tree of Gernika. This town is also known for the infamous bombing that happened during the Spanish Civil War.
