Cities are more than just a set of buildings and streets. Along with stone and cement their inhabitants construct them out of dreams and memories. When Bilbao became a modern industrial city at the end of the nineteenth century, it was redefined in terms of novelty, but also in terms what was forgotten. The attitude to monuments of the past became selective, giving rise to criticism and nostalgia. Amongst others, Antonio Trueba and Miguel de Unamuno evoked an industrial Bilbao populated by absences, spaces as significant as those that had been built up.
