Megalithic Monument of Munarrikolanda. Located between Berango and Sopelana, it comprises five circular tumuli of sandstone and soil, and a dolmen, of which there are only three slabs in an angle. These funerary monuments date back to the Eneolithic age.

Santo Domingo de Guzmán Church (18th century). This building was made by Fray Marcos de Santa Teresa, in the same place where the San Lorenzo Parish Church (12th century) used to be located, of which he only preserved the graves. At the end of the 19th century, it was rebuilt under the commands of Basterra, who kept the original outer walls, the four naves, the straight upper end, and the wing under the tower. He gave the building some Neo-medieval touch, whilst the area from the portico to the square is usually defined as of Neo-Renaissance style. Inside, the mausoleum, of marble, was made by Mentxaka and dedicated to the Otxandategi brothers. But what gives the municipality its identity is the tower, with the vertical tension of the mast and the pointed lantern that holds a cross.

The Santa Ana Hermitage (18th century). It is a Baroque building with an open façade and a portico, built by the Landazabal brothers and Andrés Alzaga over a temple of the 17th century.

Cemetery (1949). Its tetrastyle Doric portico has an oblong screen and a very low fronton. It is an incredible group on the old Greek and Latin style, quite common in some of the buildings of the surroundings.
