The Tree of Gernika is a symbol of the Basque Country's freedom and traditions, located in Gernika-Lumo, Spain. This ancient oak tree has stood for centuries and represents the historical rights of the Basque people. It is a place where local leaders would gather to discuss laws and governance. The current tree is a descendant of the original, which was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War. Nearby, the Gernika Assembly House holds significant political importance, where the Basque Parliament meets. The tree and its surroundings are a reminder of the region's cultural heritage and resilience.
