How to touch the Añua Panel

You are standing in front of an information panel about the Church of the Nativity in Añua. 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 image shows a plant motif painted in a reddish colour on a light-coloured wall. In the centre, there is a vertical border with three plant details, shown in relief with a continuous line. These plant details are a simplified representation of three flowers with their petals. On either side of the border, the outlines of the wall pattern are shown with broken lines, imitating a brick wall.

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, where you are listening to this audio.

Next, you will find the text shown on the panel: “On the exterior, it features one of the most elegant and richly crafted apses in the whole province of Álava. The sanctuary has a polygonal apse, lavishly decorated with sculpted window openings and a series of carved corbels preserved beneath the eaves. In this area, significant remains of red mural painting have also been recovered.”
