About Arade Congress Centre

This development ensures that most of the events to be held in the Algarve are concentrated in the Barlavento Algarvio, in a covered space, fulfilling the goal of combating seasonality.

A bold architectural project with a contemporary exterior appearance divided between the transparency of the glass and the opacity of the concrete structures, a main feature being the imposing chimney, a vestige of the old canning factory.
