Kursaal

The Kursaal is a building that first opened its doors as a casino in 1921 and is now, after having been re-designed by Rafael Moneo in 1995, a conference hall. However, it is not just any cultural center, it stands out among the other buildings in the area and is right on the beach. It was designed to look like two beached rocks and to “emphasize the harmony between the natural and the artificial”. The Kursaal also won one of the most prestigious contemporary architecture awards in Europe!
