Galerías de Punta Begoña

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:42:54

This massive brown structure was built in 1919 as a protective sea wall. It's an impressive sight, complete with columns and a balustraded terrace, and while it's rarely open to the public, guided visits are sometimes laid on – it depends on the state of the ongoing restoration. Opposite the gallery is Bilbao's first lighthouse, known as the Estacíon de Salvamento de Náufragos.
