Palacio de Congresos de Badajoz, Convention center in Badajoz, Spain
The Palacio de Congresos de Badajoz is a congress center with multiple halls, meeting rooms, and exhibition spaces built in contemporary style. The spaces feature abundant natural light and modern technical facilities throughout.
The building was constructed in 2006 on the site of a former 19th century bullring. Its location within the 17th century Baluarte de San Roque fortification connects the center to the city's older military heritage.
The building was designed by the architecture firm SelgasCano and represents contemporary Spanish design thinking. Visitors can experience the thoughtful spatial arrangement and the connection between interior and exterior areas firsthand.
The center sits in central Badajoz with good access to nearby hotels, restaurants, and transportation options. Visitors should check ahead if they need specific rooms or facilities for their visit.
The hall carries the name of a former socialist mayor of Badajoz, a choice that sparked significant debate among local officials when it was decided. This naming reflects how local political history can be woven into modern architecture.
