Cesta punta in Gernika
The Gernika Jai Alai: the "Cathedral of Pelota"
An international reference point for the sport of cesta punta
Following the overwhelming success of cesta punta in Durango, a magnificent fronton was built and inaugurated in Gernika in June 1963. The work of the prestigious architect Secundino Zuazo, the Gernika Jai Alai was built in the shape of a two-storey-high, right-scalene triangle.
Gernika's Jai Alai fronton is the largest fronton court in Europe and the second largest in the world.
The fact that it is the fastest ball game in the world has earned it its place in the Guinness Book of Records. Some throws have been known to reach a speed of as much as 300 kilometres per hour.
