Why go

Bidebarrieta Library brings a nineteenth-century architectural layer to the narrow streets of Casco Viejo. Designed by Severino Achúcarro in a French eclectic style, its façade gives you a visible contrast with the old quarter's earlier religious buildings. Its current use as the municipal library also makes it a working civic building, rather than a preserved façade alone.

What to look for

  • The late nineteenth-century French eclectic building by Severino Achúcarro now houses the municipal library.

Useful to know

  • Make this an exterior stop on Bidebarrieta Street; check library access separately if you plan to enter.
