The Fine Arts Museum of Alava
The Fine Arts Museum of Alava is housed in the residence of the
Count of Dávila constructed in 1912 by the architects Luque
and Apraiz in the Renaissance "revival" style, with
regard both to the architecture and its internal and external
ornamentation. In 1962, the building and collections were declared
a monument of historical and artistic interest. In 1965, the architect,
Guinea, extended the building to the rear and this is joined to
the original building a means of a covered passageway.
