Pavelló de la Vall d'Hebron, Sports arena in Horta-Guinardó, Spain.
The Pavelló de la Vall d'Hebron is a sports facility in Barcelona containing multiple courts for volleyball, basketball, and indoor soccer. The building also houses three pelota courts, a swimming pool, and dedicated spaces for fitness and physiotherapy.
The facility was designed by architects Jordi Garcés i Brusés and Enric Sòria i Badia and opened in 1991 in preparation for the 1992 Summer Olympics. It became part of Barcelona's sports infrastructure built specifically for that international event.
The pavilion serves as a gathering place where the local community comes together for sports and fitness activities. It represents an important part of how the neighborhood sees itself and its connection to athletic life.
The venue is easily accessible by public transportation and offers ample parking. Visitors should check operating hours as different areas serve different activities and may have varying schedules.
The venue hosted goalball during the 1992 Paralympics, a sport specifically created for athletes with visual impairments. This commitment to accessible sports continues to shape the facility's offerings today.
