(Translated by Google) The construction works began in 1890, by the architect Luis Aladrén. The project fulfilled the expectations of the Bizkaia bourgeoisie, who wanted to express in their new headquarters the rise and strength of the territory's economy. The great sumptuousness and variegation of the building were perfectly suited to that desire. Thus, eclecticism dominates the exterior of the building, combining and reworking the elements of the language of classicism to the point of blurring the traces of the references. The interior of the palace responds to the same exterior decorative recharge and is a clear example of the splendor of the applied arts of the time in Bizkaia: marble, wood, stucco, mirrors, plaster, vases, ceramics, stained glass ... Examples of this are the ceiling paintings by José Echenagusia, Anselmo Guinea and Alvaro Alcalá Galiano, the three ceramic panels by Daniel Zuloaga and the stained glass window on the main staircase by Anselmo Guinea.

El proyecto cumplió las expectativas que tenía la burguesía de Bizkaia, que quería expresar en su nueva sede el auge y la fuerza de la economía del territorio. La gran suntuosidad y el abigarramiento del edificio se adecuaron perfectamente a ese deseo. Así, el eclecticismo domina el exterior del edificio, combina y reelabora los elementos del lenguaje del clasicismo hasta el punto de difuminar las huellas de las referencias. El interior del palacio responde al mismo recargamiento decorativo exterior y es un claro ejemplo del esplendor de las artes aplicadas de la época en Bizkaia: mármoles, maderas, estucos, espejos, escayolas, jarrones, cerámicas, vidrieras... Ejemplo de ello son las pinturas del techo realizadas por José Echenagusia, Anselmo Guinea y Alvaro Alcalá Galiano, los tres paneles cerámicos de Daniel Zuloaga y la vidriera de la escalera principal de Anselmo Guinea.

Beautiful and monumental palace of eclectic style located on Gran Vía in Bilbao and belonging to the Provincial Council of Bizkaia. The interior is elegant and discreet with marble floors and stairs decorated with red carpets. The floors and baseboards have noble woods and decorations with paintings on ceilings and domes. One of the lamps is half a ton and has 120 bulbs. Exceptional stained glass windows and paintings with special social and ethnographic interest. Stone statues and a war monument attentively guard the entrance of the staff, who enter its bowels to visit it or work on its deepest and most human interior. The offices guard gifts from leaders and other countries to the province's deputies that give them greater added value. Beautiful and elegant facades that stand out on Gran Vía as an incontestable stone bastion and denote the power of the people of Bilbao and its great province.

A spectacular palace, the façade does not do justice to the monumentality of the interior. Visits last around 50 minutes (they are free). It depends on the day whether or not you require an appointment or reservation. Your visit is recommended!

Another historic and ornate building in the centre of Bilbao, famous for its mix of styles - each floor has a different style of window and wall decoration exteriorly.
