Overview

The Azkuna Zentroa (formely "Alhóndiga") - that was completely remodeled by French designer Philippe Starck in 2010 - is one of the most symbolic buildings of Bilbao. What was once the city's wine warehouse, is today a cultural center occupying a 43,000-square-meters site in the Indautxu district. The Alhondiga hosts many exhibitions and is home to a media center, libraries, a multiplex cinema, a variety of shops and restaurants. Even you can swim in the glass-bottomed swimming pool and visit the rooftop terrace for great views.
