Description
Located in Santiago de Compostela, the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia stands at the top of Mount Gaiás as a formidable architectural landmark of the new century dedicated to knowledge and creativity.Designed by the American architect Peter Eisenman to host the best expressions of culture from Galicia, Spain, Europe, Latin America and the world, this new "city", inclusive and plural, aims to become a "project factory" that energises our cultural industries, a platform that gives visibility to the best of our artistic expressions and a point for the exchange of ideas and experiences, connecting Galicia to national and international networks of creativity and knowledge.Its unique buildings, connected by streets and squares and equipped with an advanced level of technology, form a space of excellence for reflection, debate and action aimed at the future of Galicia and its internationalisation.(text from web: https://www.cidadedacultura.gal/es/info/cidade-da-cultura-de-galicia )
