A decree made by the government of the Dubrovnik Republic in 1546 allowed Jews to settle within the city ramparts. This officially marked the establishment of the Jewish Ghetto on the street called Žudioska. In 1652, one of the houses was turned into a Synagogue, whose interior is in the baroque style. It has been preserved to this day, with minor changes, and is one of the oldest synagogues in Europe. The first floor houses a museum with a number of religious artefacts and archives, Rococo, baroque and Louis XVI furniture and paintings by Italian masters.

Zubizuri, meaning 'white bridge' in Basque, is a steel-and-glass footbridge over the Nervión River, designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 1997. It links Campo Volantín on one side to Uribitarte on the other. The deck was originally made of translucent glass bricks, but they became dangerously slippery when wet, so now there’s a non-slip covering over much of the walking surface. From the middle of the bridge, you get a good view of the river and the Guggenheim, especially at sunrise or when the lights come on at night.

The Fine Arts Museum is housed in the former living quarters of the Abbey of Saint-Denis. The museum has extensive collections from the Renaissance to the present day.

The Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao is one of Spain's most important art institutions. Its origins trace back to the first Fine Arts Museum, founded in 1908, and the Museum of Modern Art opened in 1924. These two museums merged in 1945, forming the current institution. The museum's extensive collection spans from the 12th century to contemporary art, featuring masterpieces by renowned artists such as El Greco, Goya, Velázquez, Picasso, and Francis Bacon. Notably, it houses the most significant collection of Basque art, including works by Regoyos, Zuloaga, and Echevarría.
