Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín
The Auditorio de Tenerife “Adán Martín” — simply called the Auditorio de Tenerife — is a piece of expressionist architecture that has become a civic landmark. Its silhouette, designed by Santiago Calatrava, rises on the Avenue of the Constitution in Santa Cruz, framed by the Atlantic Ocean near the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Construction began in 1997 and was completed in 2003, and it opened on 26 September 2003 in the presence of Felipe, Prince of Asturias; the venue was later visited by former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Beyond its striking late-modern profile, the building anchors the island’s public music life: it is home to the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife. Its cultural visibility reached beyond the concert hall in March 2008, when it was featured in a set of six Spanish architecture stamps issued by Correos, and again in 2011, when its image appeared on commemorative 5-euro coins.
