John Palace (La Bolsa or Stock Market Building)

The Palacio John, also known as the Edificio de la Bolsa (old Stock Market Building), is located in Bilbao's old part. This Baroque building opens to three different streets. 

The most spectacular façade faces onto calle Pelota Street. The main entrance has a lintol surounded by mouldings mixing straight and curved lines. This façade includes a vaulted niche with the image of the Virgen de Begoña. 

The entrance in calle Torre Street is more austere, with a balcony above. This façade bears the coat of arms belonging to four Byscaine families.
