Azkuna Zentroa (Basque for Azkuna Centre), previously known as Alhóndiga Bilbao (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈlondiɣa βilˈβao]), is a multi-purpose venue located in the city of Bilbao, Spain.

[4] Originally a wine market (alhóndiga in Spanish), it was designed by Basque architect Ricardo Bastida and inaugurated in 1909.

Several projects were suggested, ranging from public housing, a museum of modern art, or even demolishing the entire building, but all were scrapped.

Finally, in 1994 it was decided to renovate it and build a sports and culture centre.

[5] The Basque Government decided to declare the building "Public Property of Cultural Interest" in 1999.
