Molinos Vascos, Industrial heritage building in Zorrotza district, Spain

The Molinos Vascos building stands in an L-shape configuration with a left wing housing grain silos and a right wing containing five floors and two towers.

Federico de Ugalde designed this flour mill structure in 1924, placing it on the former site of the Royal Shipyard of Zorroza established in 1615.

The architectural design drew inspiration from the Grande Molins of Paris, incorporating reinforced concrete walls and wooden tie beams in the eaves.

The facility contains 23 silos in its left wing, with 15 large ones arranged in three rows of five, each capable of storing 75 tons of grain.

The building operated as a flour mill for only four years, starting in 1925, with a daily capacity to process 200,000 kilograms of wheat.

Location: Bilbao

Inception: 1923
