You are standing in front of an information panel about the Church of the Assumption in Alaitza. The panel measures 680 by 580 millimetres. It has two tactile areas: the bottom section and the right-hand side.
At the bottom, the name of the church appears in raised lettering and in Braille. It is written first in Basque and then in Spanish.
On the right-hand side, you can feel a representation of a mural painting located inside the church. The original image is painted on a light-coloured wall in reddish tones. What you can see and touch here is only a detail. In that detail, there is a church and a bell ringer ringing the bells. Outside this detail, to the right, there are people carrying a coffin to the church for a funeral. That is why the bells are ringing.
The outline of the church is shown with a continuous line, with the bell tower on the left. At the top of the bell tower there is a cross marked with a thicker line. The bells have a fine horizontal-line texture, and the bell ringer has a rough texture.
Below the painting there is a legend in Braille, in Basque and Spanish, explaining what each texture represents.
On the right, there is a raised QR code that links to the Map’s Voice platform. This is where you are listening to this audio.
Next, you will find the text shown on the panel: “Alaitza’s church was built in the Romanesque period, although over the centuries new volumes and structures were added, altering its original appearance. Inside, this temple preserves outstanding mural paintings.”
