Recinto Ferial de Tenerife

The Tenerife International Trade Fair and Congress Centre, opened in May 1996, has become one of the landmarks of the island capital’s seafront. Located between Avda. de la Constitución, Avda. Manuel Hermoso Rojas and C/ Alcalde José Emilio García Gómez, it covers an area of more than 40,000 m² and is organised around its most emblematic space, the Gran Nave (Great Hall), whose harmonious design of glass, iron and concrete softens its enormous dimensions – it could hold two football pitches. 

A multipurpose building, designed for the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife (Tenerife Island Council) by the architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava, which makes it possible to develop a whole new world of activities in a range of economic, leisure and cultural fields and sectors.  

This multifunctional space of avant-garde design has a main hall of 12,000 m² of open floor space, a second hall of 3,800 m², also column-free, an auditorium for 300 people and several smaller rooms.
