In the middle of Bilbao, the French industrial designer Philippe Starck has created a spectacular cultural centre: the Azkuna Zentroa on the Plaza de Indautxu. The former wine storehouse, an Art Nouveau industrial building, was expanded with three structures that stand on 43 differently designed columns. The centre is named after the former mayor Iñaki Azkuna (1943-2014), a supporter of the ‘new Bilbao’. The numerous halls, multi-purpose rooms, and cinemas host exhibitions, film series, and events. Apart from the excellent Yandiola restaurant, you should also visit the centre's roof terrace for a spectacular view!
