Auditorio de Galicia

About

The Auditorio de Galicia is one of Santiago de Compostela’s leading cultural institutions, located beside the city’s northern green belt and overlooking the tranquil Vista Alegre park. Opened in 1989, it was designed as a modern, multifunctional arts centre capable of hosting major concerts, conferences and exhibitions. Its main concert hall, known for its excellent acoustics, regularly welcomes orchestras, chamber ensembles and contemporary music projects, while the smaller spaces support theatre, dance and experimental performances. The building also houses an exhibition gallery that showcases visual arts throughout the year, reinforcing its role as a hub for both performing and contemporary arts. With a programme that ranges from classical music to international festivals and civic events, the Auditorio de Galicia stands as a dynamic cultural landmark that connects Santiago’s artistic life with audiences from across Galicia and beyond.

Location

The Auditorio de Galicia is located on Avenida do Burgo das Nacións, 15704 Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, in the North Campus area just north of the historic old town and the cathedral. It stands within the Parque da Música (Music Park), a cultural complex near the University of Santiago de Compostela’s North Campus, close to the Professional Conservatory of Music and the Isaac Díaz Pardo exhibition halls, set around a large pond and landscaped grounds. Nearby green spaces include the Alameda park and the campus area, offering a peaceful, park‑like setting for concerts and events a short way from the main pilgrimage routes. The historic centre with the Catedral de Santiago, Praza do Obradoiro, and Mercado de Abastos is easily reachable on foot or by bus, while the lively Rúa do Franco tapas street, Praza de Cervantes, shops, cafés, and hotels are all close by, making the auditorium both a quiet cultural venue and a convenient stop in the heart of the city.
