"The Culture Box San Sebastián's monument to modernity, the Kursaal, sits perched on the seashore, cutting boldly into the skyline. The Kursaal is the spot for the biggest get-togethers in town, from the Film Festival to Gastronomika. It also hosts concerts, plays, and more. In some cases, those under thirty can enter for 3 euros if seats remain right before the show. It's a great culture hub and a fabulous night option for those rainy winter nights, which is when the programming is at its peak."

The place is beautiful.
The sound in the speakers wasn’t very good.

Loved every bit of San Sebastian but saw this building and thought it was awfully ugly from the exterior & shame it’s covering all those lovely old beautiful architecture behind it, should be placed in a corner somewhere else..not at beach front

Never been inside. But man… why would you build something this ugly and not fitting to the architecture of the rest of the city here?! It’s a shame really.

The Great Kursaal was an elegant palace built in 1921, pulled down in 1973. An empty plot was freed (1973-1999). The new Kursaal Congress Centre (1999) was designed by Rafael Moneo, awarded the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture in 2001. The initial impact of the buildings in the landscape was deemed negative by Donostians, thanks to the positive impact it had in the economy, tourism and cultural life, most citizens today appreciate it.
