Palacio de Congresos (Madrid)

The Palacio de Congresos de Madrid is a notable convention center located on the Paseo de la Castellana, featuring a striking ceramic mosaic by Joan Miró. Inaugurated in 1970, it has a rich history, having hosted significant events such as the OTI Festival and the press center for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. Although it has been closed since 2012 due to security issues, there have been ongoing discussions about its potential reopening, with plans to possibly house the UN's World Tourism Organization. Its architectural significance and cultural history make it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
