Bilbao City Hall (Dos Heraldos Sculpture)

Highlight • Monument

Bilbao City Hall stands on the site of the old San Agustín Monastery, which was destroyed during the First Carlist War. It was built in 1892 by the city architect Joaquín Rucoba, who also designed the Arriaga Theatre. It is built in the French Second Empire style and is known for its horizontal, elegant and rounded lines. The façade is decorated with sculptures by Fiat and the team consisting of Garamendi, Basterra and Larrea.

Variante Ovoide Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

This work is made of corten steel to resemble ships. Its diameter is six meters and its height is almost eight meters. The vision is surprising because of the tension between the static and the dynamic. It is also convenient that it is located between the city hall and the river.

The Sirgueras

Highlight • Monument

The sculptural group “Las sirgueras” by the artist Dora Salazar is located in the heart of the Paseo de Uribitarte and consists of four statues. She is a testament to the importance of women's work and the path to equality. The work pays homage to the figure of the Sirgueras, women who pulled boats along the river mouth with the sole aid of a rope, a towline and their own strength.

Pedro Arrupe Pedestrian Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Designed by engineer José Antonio Fernández Ordóñez, the work was completed after his death by his son Lorenzo and opened in 2004. It is a very visual and impressive construction, resembling a large dragonfly, and is finished with a cladding of Lapacho wood, specially treated to prevent people from slipping on it. This modern pedestrian bridge, built between the Abandoibarra Walk and the Avenue of the Universities, next to the Deusto University, is dedicated to the priest Pedro Arrupe from Bilbao, a renewer of the Society of Jesus who died in Rome in 1991.
