| Known popularly
as the Plaza Nueva of Bilbao, this square is one of the most
interesting neoclassical squares in the Basque Country, where
this kind of monument is common: Vitoria, San Sebastián...
The construction of the square came about as a result of a
period of major economic expansion in which, from the end
of the 18th-century, a number of different areas of the city
were rebuilt. |
