Summary

Ricardo Bastida is the author of the Alhóndiga Municipal, the Doña Casilda Park, the Indautxu Schools, the Lezama-Leguizamón houses on the Gran Vía, and also the working-class district of Torre-Urízar and the Ribera Schools and the Central Institute… and many other buildings that make up the urban landscape of the city of Bilbao. His work forms part of the best Bilbao architecture of the first thirty years of the 20th century.
Ricardo Bastida was much more than a municipal architect. He was a lover of the Fine Arts, who called on some of his artist friends for the task of embellishing his architectural works.
Such is the case of the painters Aurelio Arteta or Genaro Urrutia, the sculptors Higinio Basterra, Quintín de Torre or Federico Sáenz…
Ricardo Bastida had a lifelong dream: to make Bilbao “the Athens of the North”. That is why, on the 700th anniversary of the founding of Bilbao, the Temas Vizcaínos-Bizkaiko Gaiak collection pays tribute to his memory, his humanism and his good work.
