Covered Gymnasium, University sports complex in Caracas, Venezuela.
The Covered Gymnasium features open architectural spaces with geometric designs that facilitate natural light distribution throughout the multi-purpose sports facility.
Venezuelan architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva designed this sports facility in 1968 as part of the Central University of Venezuela's infrastructure development program.
The gymnasium stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000, representing the integration of modern architecture within educational environments.
Athletes and students practice multiple sports including basketball, indoor soccer, volleyball, and karate in this facility managed by UCV's sports department.
Local residents refer to the gymnasium as 'La Cachucha' due to its distinctive cap-like structure visible across the university campus.
