The hermitage of Santa Agueda, one of the largest in Bizkaia, is located on a hill at the foot of Mount Arrolatza. A steep path leads there, beginning at the famous Devil's Bridge over the Cadagua River and passing the remains of an old road. The current hermitage was built in 1584, but it was originally built on the site of an earlier one. The church was rebuilt over the centuries, adding vaults, a sacristy, and a bell tower in the 18th century. It was restored in the 20th century, in 1959 and 1996.

Great view from up here at the cross!

The monument pays homage to the "putxera," a traditional way of cooking bean stew typical of the Balmaseda region. The "putxera" is a special pot originally used by railway workers in the area. They used the heat from steam locomotives to cook their meals. The monument is made of iron and features a relief depiction of a steam locomotive, commemorating the origins of the "putxera."

The bridge was built in the 11th century and served as an important crossing point on the old road to Castile. It crosses the Cadagua River and is one of the city's landmarks. The bridge consists of three arches and has a Gothic tower added in the 15th century. This tower was formerly used to collect tolls.

The church is dedicated to Saint Severinus of Noricum, the patron saint of prisoners. It was built in the 15th century in the Gothic style. The church is located in the main square of Balmaseda.
