Bilbao's main hospital |
Avenida de Montevideo, 18 Bilbao 48013 +34 94 442 3859 http://www.hospitalbasurto.com... |
Within the popular district of Bilbao known as Basurto, the Basurto Hospital, opened in 1908, replaced the Hospital de Atxur whose neoclassical building was deemed inadequate after the second Carlist War. The Basurto Hospital, built by the architect, Enrique Epalza, was a hospital design that broke the norm of neoclassical hierarchical organization, combining European fashions and advances of the time. Organized in blocks, the formal expression of the bricks coincides with modernist touches and references to the Viennese architecture of the era. Each block has a medical speciality and functions independently. The Basurto hospital complex was extended years later and new blocks were added that respected the architectural lines that so characterise this famous Bilbaoan hospital. Review © 2007, Wcities |
One of Spain's most prestigious |
Avenida de las Universidades, 24 Bilbao, Vizcaya 48007 +34 94 413 9000 http://www.deusto.es/ jabrego@rector.deusto.es |
The University of Deusto, the educational work of the Jesuits, is situated opposite the Bilbao estuary and the Guggenheim Museum, and it is comprised of various buildings, among which the Deusto Business School stands out. This was built by the architects, Emiliano Amann and José María Basterra, in 1921. It is a building whose facade has neoclassical lines. The building that houses the Deusto school of Literature was built in 1886 by Francisco de Cubas and José María Basterra. The floors are organised from two cloisters in a double trident scheme. In the building's main facade, the classical, romantic and medieval are combined. Inside the building the library, chapels and main hall are all worthy of note. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Last Gothic building in Bilbao |
Plaza San Pedro, s/n Bilbao 48014 +34 94 475 4964 |
This is the last Gothic building constructed in Bilbao, in one of the most famous areas, the barrio de Deusto, in the 16th century. Its most significant feature is the main altar which is Renaissance style. It has had a number of alterations to make it fit in with its surroundings. The best example of this dates back to the 1970s, when the original church had an extension built in concrete, metal and glass, which hides the artistic value of this old church. Masses: 12.30pm Mon-Fri; 12.30pm & 8pm Sat; 10am, 11am, midday & 1pm Sun. (1 pm Sun in Basque language). Review © 2007, Wcities |
