Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Centre

Centro Niemeyer is an architectural gem in Avilés. I highly recommend visiting if you’re interested in modern architecture and cultural spaces. It was designed by the legendary Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and is the only building he created in Spain. The structure reflects his iconic style with bold forms, flowing curves and a sense of light and openness. Unfortunately, we couldn’t go inside because there was a private event that day, but on regular days you can visit the interior with a guided tour. A must-see for architecture lovers and anyone looking for a unique experience in northern Spain.

Lovely hidden place but the hours on google could be updated. Also - dogs/ pets cannot go inside and there’s a hook provided in front of the info centre but it’s on the straight sun and no water provided - I would get that done in the shade and with some water facility ;-)) The Goya exhibition was really nice, Tokyo blues …. Hmmm … also large part of complex could be used better ✌️✌️

An architectural gem. Unfortunately the artistic content is less interesting and the city did not all it could to make the surroundings as attractive, linking the centro to the city. It stayed a concrete (Niemeyer’s style) island in the harbour.

A place that is worth a visit if you are interested in architecture. The guided tours (daily at 12:30 and 17:00) are a good option to visit the complex and have some information about the site architecture and the city. It lasts around 45 min. It is a good place to start a visit to Aviles as it is connected to the city centre (just 10 min. walk).

Really nice architecture, designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and his only work in Spain. The centre itself is very impressive from an architecture point of view but sadly since its opening it has been covered in scandals for its bad management and the bad use of public money by the former management. The restaurants in the space, specially in the tower were not very lucky either and the Tower is closed these days. These days there are some exhibitions but not to the level of the building. This is a good example of how just a good infrastructure without a good management doesn’t add much value.

This is a very nice place to visit if you are passing through this town. It has a lot of history inside and it is about 10 minutes walk from the very centre of town. I recommend a visit to this building if you are here for a few hours or for a few nights.

Incredible experience visiting Avila and this center. The museum was spectacular and so intriguing. I was impressed by the architecture and design of the area. This day was quite cloudy and breezy, definitely worth visiting if you are near the area. Asturias is beautiful!

Went only to see the exterior of the buildings. Did not have time enjoy cultural center activities. I wish they would maintain the exterior just a bit more. It must be hard to keep it pristine near the coastline as it is located.
