Palau de la Musica, Valencia

The Music Hall (Palau de la Musica), constructed in 1987, is a relatively recent addition to Valencia. Similar to the City of Arts and Sciences, it stands as a modern architectural marvel, showcasing the city's contemporary side to the world.

From a musical perspective, it ranks among the finest in Spain.

Situated within the Turia River's old riverbed, it seamlessly blends into the captivating Turia Gardens. A splendid fountain graces the front of the building, serving as a delightful welcome to what lies ahead.
