Join this incredible tour of the City of Culture of Laboral! Discover the largest civil building in Spain, an architectural jewel in Gijón that you cannot miss. We will wait for you!
Visit the Laboral University, currently converted into the Laboral City of Culture. At the indicated time, we will meet at its main entrance to start a free tour that will allow us to discover the largest civil building in Spain.
After a brief introduction, we will go to the central courtyard. In this large esplanade, we will see the classical-Hellenistic style façade of the Teatro de la Laboral.
We will continue the tour, admiring the Laboral church from the outside, which has the privilege of being the temple with the largest elliptical plan in Europe.
Finally, we will go to the gardens to contemplate from there the Paraninfo de la Laboral, whose exterior architecture will remind us of the shape of the bows of ships.
Finally, after a tour of one hour and 15 minutes, we will conclude the free tour by returning to the meeting point.
