Szczecin Philharmonic
Filharmonia im. Mieczysława Karłowicza
A white, sawtooth-shaped concert hall that resembles an iceberg. It won the 2015 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture, and its golden main hall has excellent acoustics.
The Philharmonic opened in 2014. It was designed by the Spanish firm Barozzi Veiga. Its white translucent glass facade, with sawtooth peaks, echoes the Gothic roofs of the old town, and at night its shifting lights look like an iceberg. In 2015, it won the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture (the Mies van der Rohe Award). Inside, the main concert hall is decorated with golden leaf-shaped ornaments and seats about 950 people. Besides attending concerts, you can join a guided tour. The lobby and café are free to enter during the day.
