Art centers

Since 2003 an imposing building is located in one of the busiest points of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is the auditorium of Tenerife that has the name Adán Martín. This magnificent construction is located on the avenue of the constitution, it is the work of the famous Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, at first glance you can see its unmistakable style resembling skeletons or animal forms.

The building is on a plot of about 23,000 square meters and the building itself has dimensions of about 6400 square meters.

What first draws the attention of the Auditorio Adán Martín is the envelope that seems to levitate over the top of the auditorium, which reminds you a bit of the Casa of the Sydney Opera House, why he called the capital of the island as La Sidney del Atlantico.

The Tenerife Adán Martín Auditorium is divided into 2 rooms, one is the Symphonic Hall which is crowned by the dome and which has an amphitheater with capacity for 1616 people. The second of the rooms is called Chamber Room is a little smaller and can accommodate 422 people.
