Formerly called the Alhondiga, the Azkuna Zentroa is a center for leisure and culture housed in the old wine exchange in Bilbao, serving as a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and more.

This modernist building was redesigned by Philippe Starck and now sits on forty-three unique columns or pillars, each a work of art on its own. In addition to watching a show or viewing an exhibition, visitors can also take a guided tour of the building. One of several cool features of the Azkuna Zentroa is its swimming pool with a glass-paneled floor on the upper level.
