 This fact encouraged Olaguibel to apply for a place in the "Royal San Fernando Academy of Fine Art", in Madrid, in order to improve his studies in architecture and to achieve the qualification he needed.In 1781, once he was in Vitoria again, Olaguibel was offered to design the Plaza España, the first neoclassic square, which was a model when building the ones in Tudela, San Sebastian and Bilbao.This square became the centre of urban activity of Vitoria.
