Aerial views of Hernani's old town. Tightly packed red-roofed houses line long, narrow streets; on Gudarien Enparantza the tower of the church of San Juan Bautista and the town hall stand out. Five views: from the square, from above and from the surrounding hills.
History
The old town has a regular, elliptical plan, with a north–south axis that follows the Camino Real. It is organised around three main streets: Kale Nagusia, Kardaberaz and Iturriza. Narrow, deep plots keep the medieval morphology, although the 17th-century type predominates: buildings of two or three storeys, party walls and gabled roofs. The church of San Juan Bautista was built as part of the town wall, and the town hall stands over one of the village's five entrances. The founding date is unknown: a fire in 1332 destroyed the archive, and historians place its constitution between the late 13th and early 14th century.
