This building was
designed by the architect Luis Aladrén, at the end of the
19th century. Eclectic in style, the formal characteristics
of this building show a preoccupation for the composition
of the facades and its external appearance. The predominating
characteristics of this style are its overelaborate decoration
and ostentation.
This building is a perfect example of the late 19th century
monumental eclectic style. It is one of the most emblematic
buildings in Bilbao and the province of Bizkaia.
It stands on the Gran Vía. |
