Summary

The architect Eladio Iturria Bizcarrondo (graduated 1888) formed part of a group of proffesionals who were responsible for the so-called Golden Age of Architecture in Bilbao (Spain). He made a series of appartment buildings in diff e rent towns, where he followed the customary plan of the time (enclosed balconies, window decorations, etc.). He also designed the Cemetery of Trucíos (1889), where he opted for a terraced layout. This cemetery, moreover, has an interesting group of tombs, many of which were sponsored by emmigrants from that town.
