Palacio Lezama-Leguizamón, Early 20th-century palace in Neguri district, Getxo, Spain.

The palace stands on the Arriluce promontory with a central tower, gallery of semi-circular arches, and views over the Abra Bay and Bilbao estuary.

Built in 1902 by architect José María Basterra for businessman Luis Lezama Leguizamón, the palace underwent significant modifications by Manuel María Smith in 1919.

The structure exemplifies the residential architecture of Biscay's upper class during the industrial growth period of the early twentieth century.

The palace, now divided into three residences, maintains its original exterior design and remains under the ownership of the Lezama-Leguizamón family.

The palace's library, destroyed by fire in 1933, was considered the most extensive private collection in the Iberian Peninsula.
