Los Fueros Square

Fueros Square Vitoria-Gasteiz, Destinos Euskadi

The Plaza de los Fueros in Vitoria-Gasteiz is an emblematic space that combines art, culture and Basque tradition in the heart of the city. Designed in 1979 by architect Luis Peña Ganchegui and sculptor Eduardo Chillida, it stands out for its triangular shape and for being built in pink granite, which gives it a unique and modern character.

This square is not only a place of transit, but also a true epicenter of sports and cultural activities. It has an open-air fronton, an oxen tester, a bowling alley and a space with bleachers, elements that make it an ideal place to enjoy Basque traditions. Designed specifically for exhibitions of rural sports, such as herri kirolak, the square honors the roots of Basque culture while adapting to contemporary city life.

A highlight is the sculpture of the Fueros, the work of Eduardo Chillida, located on one of the sides. This piece represents the historical rights of the territory and is perfectly integrated into the architectural design, becoming a symbol of identity and belonging.

The Plaza de los Fueros is also a meeting point for cultural events, concerts, fairs and other activities that energize the center of Vitoria throughout the year. Surrounded by bars, stores and urban spaces, it is a place where residents and visitors can enjoy moments of leisure and entertainment in an environment that fuses modernity, tradition and culture.

With its distinctive architecture and vibrant range of activities, the Plaza de los Fueros has established itself as an essential place to get to know and experience the essence of Vitoria-Gasteiz.
