The Auditorio de Tenerife "Adán Martín" in Santa Cruz de Tenerife was designed by architect Santiago Calatrava Valls.
The Auditorio de Tenerife "Adán Martín" was designed by architect Santiago Calatrava Valls. It is located on the Avenue of the Constitution in the Canarian capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), and next to the Atlantic Ocean in the southern part of Port of Santa Cruz. Construction began in 1997 and was completed in 2003. The auditorium was inaugurated on 26 September of that year with the presence of Felipe de Borbón, Prince of Asturias. The majestic profile of the auditorium has become an architectural symbol of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerif. In March 2008, it was included by the post office in a set of six stamps (Correos) depicting the most emblematic works of Spanish architecture. In 2011, the image of the Tenerife Auditorium was included in a series of commemorative coins of 5 euros, which displayed the most emblematic symbols of several Spanish cities. It is home to the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife (Tenerife Symphony Orchestra).
