Visiting the Palau de la Música
Exterior of the Palau de la Música
The Palau de la Música is located on the old bed of the Turia. It is one of the flagship buildings of the city of Valencia today. In addition to this, it is one of the main auditoriums in our country.
Erected by García de Paredes, his thought was to integrate the building in the expansion zone of Valencia.
The Ricardo Bofill Studio carried out this integration, the reason for the existence of the enormous stained glass window that surrounds the Orange Trees Hall. The construction can be seen as an extension of the river garden inside the building.
Interior of the Palau de la Música
The auditorium has four rooms named after four famous Valencian musicians:
- Sala Rodrigo: it is a multipurpose chamber room with a capacity of 420 spectators.
- Martin i Soler: capacity for 100 people
- Lucrecia Bori: capacity for 100 people
- Iturbi ; the star room with capacity for 1800 people and which is where the headquarters of the Valencia City Orchestra is located.
The versatility of the building is great, so it can host many symphonic and chamber concerts, exhibitions, conferences and a large number of events, from theater to opera or dance. Without forgetting that it usually has a large number of congresses annually.
Just over three decades after opening its doors, it is now a landmark building in Valencia and worth seeing.
