Parque de Lamuza, Llodio

Lamuza Palace is a baroque building in Llodio featuring elaborate stone masonry on its facades with geometric patterns and ornamental details. The grounds consist of formal gardens accessible from the main entrance on Lamuza Street, with guided tours offered on weekends.

Architect Francisco de Cubas designed and built the palace in 1876 during a period of architectural change in the Basque region. This construction was part of a broader development that modernized the area.

The palace shapes the character of the town with its grand stone walls and flowing lines typical of Spanish baroque art. Visitors can explore the formal gardens here daily, where local plants are arranged following traditional Basque patterns.

The site is easy to explore on foot, as all main areas are accessible from the primary entrance. The formal gardens remain open year-round and offer shaded pathways between the planted areas.

The roof was specially designed to withstand the damp northern climate, which was an uncommon detail for its era. Window placement also follows a practical system that retained heat and reduced moisture buildup.
