This multifaceted international cultural centre, founded in 2011 on once-industrial land just across the river from the city centre, was designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer as a cultural nexus between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. The bold-white complex hosts a range of avant-garde theatre, music, dance, cinema, literature and art shows.
