Jardines de Albia

It is a beautiful gardened urban space, opened 24 hours, where a statue by Benlliure commemorating the writer, Antonio Trueba, stands out. It is surrounded by some of Bilbao's most significant buildings. The most impressive of all these buildings is perhaps the San Vicente church, a chapel in the late Gothic style built at the end of the 16th century. Nearby is a modern building that houses the headquarters of the Basque Nationalist Party (P.N.V.), constructed on the site where Sabino Arana, the founder of Basque nationalism, was born. Crossing the calle Ibanez de Bilbao the majestic Palacio de Justicia de Bilbao rises up. Apart from being able to take a relaxing stroll through the gardens, there is also the opportunity of visiting one of Bilbao's most typical and popular cafes, Cafe Iruna, a pleasant place to relax in good company, day or night.
