Carré Curial, Cultural center in Chambéry, France.

The Carré Curial complex consists of four buildings arranged in a square formation, with arcades bordering a central courtyard and slate-roofed mansards.

Napoleon I ordered the construction of these military barracks in 1804, with costs reaching over one million francs by its completion in 1810.

The military complex transformed into a cultural and commercial center in 1986, hosting restaurants, entertainment venues, and various community facilities.

The center maintains regular opening hours and provides direct access to visitors through local transportation networks from Place François Mitterrand.

The structure spans one hundred meters on each side and previously accommodated six thousand soldiers, making it among the largest military quarters of its time.
