With its
contemporary architecture, the palace comprises a complex of buildings covering 10,000 m2, which includes an exhibition area, plenary rooms, an auditorium and a restaurant area. It is a multi-purpose building that allows all its spaces to be used at the same time. The most characteristic aspect of the exterior of the palace are the green
slate slabs,
corten steel,
copper and
glass which, together with the harmonious ensemble of the building's volumes, such as the
cube of the exhibition hall, favour its integration into the surrounding landscape and greenery. Manuel de las Casas organises the terrain by designing artificial platforms, squares and stone terraces that overlook the ria, the
Lérez and the city. The complex is composed of pure volumes with a
cylinder for the Auditorium and two
prisms on different floors, housing a large exhibition hall, the Convention Centre, a restaurant and a cafeteria. The congress hall and meeting rooms are located inside the
trapezoidal prism. On the square-based prism, the entrance and the large
skylight lead to the exhibition hall on the lower level. At the edge of the
Lérez, the building is accessed by a stone staircase covered by the green slate wall. conventions, trade fairs, public fairs, exhibitions, corporate events, business conventions, seminars, symposiums, conferences - whatever format or tone the organisers wish to give it. Its advantages can be summed up in two words: modularity and functionality.
