Ferrería refers to tradi- tional iron works sites, which reduced iron from their ores beginning in the late Middle Ages. Ferrería Mirandaola oper- ated from the 12th century until 1832 when a fire destroyed part of the equipment. It was considered uneconomical to repair due to competition with blast furnaces. The ferrería was reconstructed by Patricio Echeverría and opened as a cultural site on May 3, 1952. It was then incorporated in 1997 to Lenbur Foundation, the current caretaker. Among the dig- nitaries at the landmark ceremony were Luis Chillida, pres- ident of Lenbur Foundation, and his son Eduardo Chillida; worldwide renowned sculptor in iron and steel, Juan Ech- everría; Patricio Echeverría’s grandson; and Bingen Zupitia, culture councilor of the Basque Government.
