Los Arquillos, Neoclassical arcade in Alde Zaharra district, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.

Los Arquillos features a sequence of stone arches forming an elevated passageway that connects the upper medieval district with the lower modern section of the city.

The construction of Los Arquillos started in 1787 under architect Justo Antonio de Olaguíbel to resolve the urban expansion needs of Vitoria-Gasteiz in the 18th century.

The structure received recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site in 1984, reflecting the architectural development of Spanish cities during the Age of Enlightenment.

The covered walkway provides protection from rain and sun while offering direct access to numerous shops, restaurants, and traditional establishments along its path.

The multi-level design incorporates both commercial spaces at street level and residential apartments above, creating a vertical community within its architecture.
