After having creating these two works and specially after 1794, Olaguibel directed his career towards religious creations such as arcades, towers and other smaller constructions, which took part in many villages in the prairie of Alava. His career seemed to be prospering, but this change in the architect's mind made other architects from Vitoria and from other cities to take part in the construction of buildings in the city. Justo Antonio de Olaguibel never had a government job, despite the high social class of his job. However, he was related to some personalities of the epoch, such as Samaniego. Olaguibel spent most of his effort building the facade of the Magdalena Convent (Spanish: Convento de Magdalena) in 1783. The convent was located where the New Cathedral of Vitoria is now sited. Nevertheless, they managed not to demolish the building and the facade was transferred to Vicente Goikoetxea street. Fausto Iñiguez de Betolaza was the one in charge of the move. Last years of life In 1789 the architect built the San Andrés church in Elciego, showing his perfect architecture and how expert he was in his job. In 1806, before the Peninsular War Olaguibel designed the house of the bishop Juan Joé Díaz de Espada in Armentia. Olaguibel died on the 11th of February, 1818, in Vitoria.
