Old Guild house

Since the beginning of time, the economy of Lekeitio always has been linked to fishing.

The Guild House building in calle Ezpeleta is just one part of the installations of the old Mareantes Guild House. Work on it began in 1803 under the direction of Manuel Vicente de Laca, architect of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. The monumentality of this building, originally conceived as a marinating factory, combined Bizcayan quarry tradition while at the same time following the guidelines marked by the Royal Academy of San Fernando regarding the solidness and aesthetics of the public works of that period.
