Bilbao City Hall, Municipal building in Bilbao, Spain.

The City Hall stands on the right bank of the Estuary of Bilbao with a facade featuring sculptures by Fiat, Garamendi, Basterra, and Larrea.

Built in 1892 by architect Joaquín Rucoba, the building occupies the former location of San Agustín convent, which was destroyed during the First Carlist War.

The interior combines Neo-Renaissance elements in the assembly hall with Neo-Arab decorations in the reception room, created by craftsman José Soler.

Tours of the main areas are available on weekday mornings through the Bilbao City Council, requiring reservations two months in advance.

The Arab Hall features Neo-Mudéjar style decorations similar to those found in Granada's Alhambra, serving as a venue for official receptions and weddings.
