Palau Sant Jordi
-
The star of all the Olympic installations is this spaceship-like, steel and glass indoor stadium (Palau Sant Jordi) designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. Holding around 17,000 people, the stadium is the home of the city’s basketball team (Top 10 Spectator Sports & Events). The esplanade – a surreal forest of concrete and metal pillars – was designed by Aiko Isozaki, Arata’s wife. Further down the hill are the indoor and outdoor Bernat Picornell Olympic pools (Activities in Barcelona); both open to the public.
