Llotja de Sant Jordi, Underground exhibition space in Alcoy, Spain.
The Llotja de Sant Jordi is an underground exhibition building in Alcoy with an internal structure resembling a whale's ribcage. Natural light filters through the ceiling into the subterranean halls, creating a distinctive lighting effect.
Santiago Calatrava designed this underground project, completed in 1995, marking an important step in modernizing the city. The building represented a new era for public exhibition spaces in Alcoy.
The space regularly hosts theater performances, music concerts, and art exhibitions that shape the cultural life of the city. Visitors can experience contemporary artistic works and local creative productions here.
The space features multiple separate entrances and is equipped with an elevator for accessibility. A metal gate allows transport of large equipment, making the venue practical for various types of events.
The underground building incorporates a public fountain at ground level, integrating water features with the structure beneath Plaza de Espana. This interplay between the subterranean space and the above-ground water element creates an unusual connection between the two levels.
