Es Baluard. Entrance.THE NEW BUILDING
The new building is part of the old Renaissance bastion. The 21st Century and the 16th Century buildings coexist harmonically.
The museum building is defined by simple, clean lines and shows great respect for the historical heritage that surrounds it, fitting in perfectly with the profile of the Renaissance bastion. The dialogue between the contemporary architecture of the new building and the ancient walls is present and constant, and you are aware of it as you walk through the different areas of the museum. The aim of the designers was to integrate a modern building into the historical heritage of the walls, but at the same time clearly differentiating it. For this reason it has been built with materials such as concrete and glass, making it easy to distinguish between the two types of construction.
The building was designed by Lluís García-Ruiz, Jaume García-Ruiz, Vicente Tomás and Angel Sánchez Cantalejo and covers a total area of 5,027 square metres, of which 2,500 are devoted to exhibition space. It is divided into three floors that relate to the exterior and the ancient walls and are interconnected by ramps, skylights and large interior balconies, with the idea of creating an interior street.
The exterior areas are conceived as exhibition spaces and places to walk and follow the perimeter of the walls. The 17th century reservoir is also an exhibition area and is used for different events in the museum’s programme.
