Kursaal Congress Centre and Auditorium

Why go

Kursaal changes the skyline where the river meets the sea. Moneo conceived its two angular forms as rocks stranded at the shore, a striking contrast with the older waterfront across the Urumea. Walk around the open space between them and compare the river mouth with the Zurriola side.

What to look for

• Two translucent glass volumes form the building’s distinctive silhouette.
• The open platform between the volumes looks toward Zurriola Beach.
• The complex sits at the mouth of the Urumea River.

Useful to know

• Approach from the river mouth, then continue along Zurriola to see both sides of the building.
• Check the venue programme or arrange a group visit if you want to enter; event use affects access.
