Concert Hall by Santiago Calatrava
The architectural handwriting of the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava is already evident at first glance.
The building is famous for its unique monumental arch, but it is only supported on one side.
When viewed from the ocean, it resembles the Auditorium of the Sydney Opera House in Australia. This is one of the reasons why Santa Cruz is sometimes called the "Sydney of the Atlantic".
The Auditorio serves mainly as a concert hall.
