Monument · Elciego, Cuadrilla de Laguardia-Rioja Alavesa, Álava

Camilo Hurtado de Amézaga, 6th Marquis of Riscal, inherited a winery in Elciego and founded the Marqués de Riscal winery in 1858, applying the most innovative techniques then arriving from France. In 2006 the winery complex was transformed into the Ciudad del Vino (City of Wine), which includes a hotel designed by the architect Frank Gehry and inaugurated by King Juan Carlos I in 2003.
