The paper concerns the revitalization of the post-industrial city of Bilbao. Revitalization was carried out thanks to modern architectural objects in symbiosis with interesting historical urban buildings. The turning point was the location of the building, designed by Frank Gehry, of the Guggenheim Bilbao Art Museum, and the accompanying facilities in the city center. Bilbao is located along the Nervion River. The new bridges in Bilbao are interesting because of their modernity of form. They adjoin historical bridges in a complementary way. The tourist revival brings millions of visitors to the city, but also other well-known architects who want to leave their mark here, too. One of them was Santiago Calatrawa, who built the pioneering technically and architecturally original footbridge Zubizuri Zubia. The paper also presents some interesting bridges from other cities of the Basque Country.
