Inter hala Pasienky, Indoor sports arena in Nové Mesto district, Bratislava, Slovakia.
Inter hala Pasienky is a sports arena with two intersecting parabolic arches supported by a suspended cable system that make it a striking example of modern sports architecture. The space accommodates up to 3,200 spectators for sports events and features training areas along with updated audio-visual equipment.
The arena emerged from discussions in the 1950s when architect Jozef Chovanec developed the design inspired by the Paraboleum hall in Raleigh. This architectural influence resulted in a structure that became significant in the city's development.
The venue serves as a gathering place for basketball fans and sports enthusiasts from across the region watching national and international competitions. It has become central to developing both professional and youth athletic programs in the area.
The hall is located in an easy-to-reach part of the Nové Mesto district and offers accessible entry points to different sections of the building. Visitors should arrive with enough time to find parking and navigate the various spectator areas.
The building employs prefabricated elements that enabled rapid and efficient construction and represented innovative building methods for its time. This modularity appears in the specialized indoor spaces that can be adapted for different sports like long jump and high jump.
