Palacio de los Deportes de León, also known as Palacio Municipal de los Deportes de León is a Multi-use Indoor arena in León, Spain. Built in 1970, it has a seating capacity of 5,188 seats,[1] and is currently the home venue for Baloncesto León basketball team and CB Ademar León handball team.

History

[edit]

The sports center was designed by architect Efrén García Fernández in 1966.[2] In 2023, the 2,8-million-euro project to renovate the building's design and infrastructures, dubbed Palacio Deportes León Next Generation, was initiated.[3] It was completed in May 2024, in time for the annual San Juan y San Pedro feast.[4] Only the club CB Ademar León received a financial compensation for the disturbance caused by the construction.[5]
