Palau Sant Jordi - Barcelona

Today I'll show you a different architectural style. It's not the kind I like but maybe some of you will like it.

If not, then you'll at least learn some new stuff.

Our main reason for visiting Barcelona in April was to attend the concert of the great musician Roger Waters. Driving force of Pink Floyd, in case you don't recognize the name.

But that's another story.

Palau Sant Jordi is the largest indoor sporting arena in Spain and is part of the Olympic Ring complex located in Barcelona, Catalonia. Designed by the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki.

The Palau Sant Jordi was one of the main venues of the 1992 Summer Olympics Today it is used for all kinds of indoor sports events, music concerts, and other cultural activities, due to its great flexibility.

These two photos from the concert are needed to recover your vision after boring photos of the Olimpic ring.

I have no clue about architecture but for me, the old center of the city of Barcelona is way better.

I would really like to hear the Gaudi's opinion.

Have a great weekend, my friends.
