On one side of San Nicolas church, near the El Arenal byway, is found the bank building considered the oldest in the Vizcayan capital, the "Banco de Bilbao". It is a building in the French style, with a combination of classical and Baroque lines, built between 1868 and 1898, which started out in business in 1857 at its original headquarters in Viuda de Epalza street. The result today is a beautiful building whose interior is worth a visit in order to admire the central courtyard and impressive and fabulous staircase leading to the first floor.
