Facts and practical information

The Auditorio Ciudad de León is the municipal auditorium of the Spanish city of León. It was designed by the Madrid architecture studio Mansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos and inaugurated on 3 May 2002. It was awarded the Spanish Architecture Prize in 2003 and was a finalist in the 2003 Mies van der Rohe Prize for Contemporary Architecture of the European Union and the VII Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism.

It is located next to other contemporary buildings such as the MUSAC, designed by the same architects Luis Moreno Mansilla and Emilio Tuñón Álvarez, the building of the Junta de Castilla y León in León or the Europa building. Its cubist façade, an abstract stack of geometric hollows, establishes a dialogue with the nearby Hostal San Marcos, the former Convent of San Marcos.

The auditorium has a main hall, with a capacity varying between 600 and 1200 spectators, and two multi-purpose exhibition halls, which can host artistic performances, conferences and exhibitions.
