Within the popular district of Bilbao known as Basurto, the Basurto Hospital, opened in 1908, replaced the Hospital de Atxur whose neoclassical building was deemed inadequate after the second Carlist War. The Basurto Hospital, built by the architect, Enrique Epalza, was a hospital design that broke the norm of neoclassical hierarchical organization, combining European fashions and advances of the time. Organized in blocks, the formal expression of the bricks coincides with modernist touches and references to the Viennese architecture of the era. Each block has a medical speciality and functions independently. The Basurto hospital complex was extended years later and new blocks were added that respected the architectural lines that so characterise this famous Bilbaoan hospital.
