The castle of Arteaga, also known as the castle of Empress Eugenia de Montijo, was built in the 19th century in neo-medieval style on the foundations of an 8th century castle. Its location stands out, in a large flat meadow surrounded by vegetation, unlike the medieval defensive castles built on a hill.

In the Urdaibai estuary in the Basque Country, in a landscape of green and narrow valleys that merge with its estuaries, the marble castle of Arteaga and its 13th-century Gothic tower emerge spectacularly.

Today it is used for weddings and various celebrations but it is recommended to see it.
