📖

Full description

Palazzo dello Sport was designed by engineer Pier Luigi Nervi for the 1960 Rome Olympics and today functions primarily as a concert and events arena in the EUR district. Reviewers praise its acoustics and generally smooth organisation for shows, even as some note the exterior looks dated compared with the experience inside.

Its Olympic pedigree gives it a layer of architectural interest beyond its current use for live music and events. It draws large crowds for major touring acts passing through Rome.
