El Batel Auditorium and Convention Center, Contemporary congress and performance venue in Cartagena, Spain
The glass and concrete structure stands along the Mediterranean seafront, featuring two main auditoriums and multiple conference halls spread across several levels.
Construction of El Batel began in 2004 and concluded in 2011, overcoming engineering challenges due to seawater infiltration and groundwater level complications.
The main concert hall, named after local actor Isidoro Máiquez, accommodates 1,401 spectators and presents regular performances of theater, music, and dance.
Located five minutes from downtown Cartagena, the venue contains nine meeting spaces, including two auditoriums and a 600-square-meter exhibition area.
The facility combines maritime views with technical capabilities for events, hosting major corporations like IBM and Repsol for product launches and conventions.
