About Zorrotza

Four names, two of them the district's own. The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Medalla Milagrosa, Zorrotza takes the parish, while Vivienda en talleres de Zorroza records the housing built at the workshops under the Zorroza spelling. The Konsoni Lantegia - Depósito de Patrimonio Industrial Mueble de Euskadi keeps the industrial side.
Euskararen Etxea is the fourth.
What is the history of Zorrotza?

Euskararen Etxea and the Konsoni Lantegia - Depósito de Patrimonio Industrial Mueble de Euskadi close it.
