Valencia Congress Centre
Valencia, Spain
Nigel Young/Foster + Partners
This 170,900 square foot center is one of Europe’s leading conference centers. The building has been designed to provide excellent acoustic conditions for conferences and similar events. The principal auditorium provides accommodation for 1,500 people, but the center’s flexible design allows this main hall to be connected via video and sound link to the two smaller 500- and 250-seat auditoria, bringing the total capacity of single events to 2,250 participants.
