The architectural tour dedicated to the figure of Ricardo Bastida allows visitors to learn about his professional relevance and the European influence of his works.
And the dramatized tours about Horacio Echevarrieta introduce us to an exceptional figure in economic, political, entrepreneurial, adventurous, sporting, cultural, etc. fields, who will show us the corners of the extraordinary monument from which he transformed the history and society of his time.
The European Heritage Days of Punta Begoña, held during the month of Urria, are another expression of the cultural, artistic, and educational program developed in the Galleries throughout the year and form an essential part of the monument’s recovery process.
