Plaza Circular

Gran Via, Bilbao, Spain

 

Presided over by the statue of Don Diego Lopez de Haro, Lord Of Vizcaya and founder of Bilbao in 1300, the Plaza Circular constitutes one of the Gran Via's end points. The buildings surrounding this much frequented and travelled through Bilbaoan square are mostly large and provide the headquarters for the main banks and other financial institutions. Among them stands out the BBVA bank skyscraper. In the entrance of this building there is a sculpture by the Basque artist, Eduardo Chillida, and next to it one of most famous fountains in Bilbao, used daily by many city dwelers as a meeting place.

From the Plaza Circular and going down Navarra street you will head towards the traditional Casco Viejo (Old Quarter), or if we go in the opposite direction, towards the city's main thoroughfare: the Gran Via.
