Antiguo Banco de Gijón, Bank building in central Gijón, Spain.

The Antiguo Banco de Gijón exhibits French eclectic architecture with four floors and a slate mansard roof decorated with oculi and pinnacles.

Built in 1902 by architect Luis Bellido y González, the structure served as headquarters for the Sociedad de Crédito Industrial Gijonés until 1912.

The building represents the financial power of early 20th-century Spanish banking institutions through its architectural elements and grand entrance with Corinthian columns.

The ground floor maintains banking operations while upper levels contain residential spaces accessible through the entrance at 22 Begoña Street.

Painter Evaristo Valle lived and died in one of the building's apartments, commemorated by a plaque on the exterior portal.
