“Excuse me, am I going well for the Palas?”

“For parking go there”

The wonder in the face of a stranger at his first convention at the Palace of Congress of Riccione.

Accustomed to reaching the satellite towns, that have standed in Italy for hosting the most modern fair-grounds, it will be strange for him to stay for working in the heart of a city.

But if the city is Riccione and in its heart stands the structure in glass and steel of Palas, home also of multiplex Millennium - soon the inauguration - the choice in countertendency will not be long in arousing in him admiration.

Dynamic and functional, the Palas candidates to host events of all sorts: congressional, cultural, social, sporting, expositive and spectacular.

To make the structure multi-purpose and flexible are the modular spaces that characterize its five levels.

The same principle that you will find in furniture thanks to the Frau foldaway chairs.
The five conference rooms, level 3 and 4, are dedicated to the most representative women of the seigniory of the Malatesta (behind a great man there is always a great woman!).

Like a kaleidoscope, the rooms can increase or turn into an open space, according to the requirements for exhibition or catering.

Not only: the six cinematographic halls of Millennium, level 2, can also be used for congressional purposes.

We can only vaguely imagine the planners of the Study “Anselmi Passatelli and Gandolfi” while were racking their brains.

At the basement the broad foyer - provided with each service for the reception - and at the top Riccione City Eye - the panoramic space with sea view - embellish the structure.

The underground parking and the commercial gallery complete the work.

A cost of 56 million euros, the Congress has been inaugurated on May 24, 2008 in the presence of authorities and citizenship.

In September, the work of finishing completed, the congressional season will begin with an already rich programme.

Riccione, with the Palas in its heart, has invented for the future the convention on a human scale.
