Tejo de Antoñana
Spain, Spain
Tejo de Antoñana refers to a centuries-old yew tree (Taxus baccata) in Antoñana, a medieval hamlet in Álava province, Basque Country, Spain, nestled at the confluence of the Ega and Sabando rivers amid dense forests of oaks, beeches, and hayas.
Founded in 1182 by Sancho VI of Navarre as a fortified village on ancient trade paths, the area boasts historic features like the 13th-century Hurtado de Mendoza tower house, neoclassical church of San Vicente Mártir, and medieval arcades integrated into surviving walls.
These ancient "tejos" hold cultural significance in Basque tradition, symbolizing longevity and sacred spaces in rural enclaves surrounded by cereal fields and hiking trails.
