Auditori L'Illa in Barcelona hosts conferences, conventions, corporate presentations, galas and training days for up to about 600 people in its main hall, with smaller rooms for 40 to 130 people and a foyer that serves up to 290 guests. It sits inside the L'Illa Diagonal complex on Avinguda Diagonal, in the Les Corts district.
Seminars and company events
The main auditorium, Sala Victoria de los Angeles, is the core of the offer. It has 597 places, 593 seats and 4 spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility, split between a stalls level and an amphitheater. The venue lists congresses, conventions, product presentations, award ceremonies, institutional events and concerts as typical uses.
Three rooms on the Deu i Mata floor are used for parallel sessions, workshops, team meetings and training. They can be rented on their own, but the venue says they work best next to the auditorium during a larger event. The foyer and the Sala Win handle receptions, cocktails, lunches and exhibitor areas, and are offered together with the auditorium.
Rooms and capacities
Sala Victoria de los Angeles holds 597 people. Sala 1 holds up to 130, Sala 3 up to 80 and Sala 2 up to 40. The Foyer and the Sala Win each accept up to 290 guests for a meal or an exhibition. The rooms can be reconfigured, so the figures are maximums and the layout is agreed per event.
The Deu i Mata rooms have their own entrance at Carrer de Deu i Mata 111. Delegates for a workshop day can therefore arrive without crossing the auditorium lobby, which helps when two events run on the same day.
Technical equipment
The auditorium is equipped for hybrid-quality production. The inventory lists a laser projector of 20,000 lumens, a 5 by 7 meter screen, several presentation computers, an HDMI matrix and a video mixer. For sound there is a 32-channel mixing desk, a line array system, wireless headset and handheld microphones, and a simultaneous interpretation system with 11 channels and 2 booths. Lighting includes a control desk, dimmers, fixed spotlights and four moving heads. The venue also reports a sustainability policy, described on its own page.
Accommodation
The venue itself has no bedrooms. The L'Illa Diagonal complex includes two four-star hotels, according to the venue, so delegates can stay within the same development.
History and setting
The building was designed by the architects Rafael Moneo and Manuel de Sola-Morales. The auditorium and convention center belong to L'Illa Diagonal, a development that also contains a 39,000 square meter shopping center, 48,000 square meters of offices, two schools, a sports hall and a public park.
Getting there
The main entrance is at Avinguda Diagonal 547. The metro stations Maria Cristina and Les Corts, both on line 3, are a few minutes away on foot, and several bus lines run along the Diagonal. The venue describes quick access from Sants station and from the airport, and a private car park on site for events with large attendance.
