Buildings

ESAPA’s facilities are nowadays split in two different buildings in the town of Avilés. Both divisions are scheduled to merge in one brand-new building located at the “Isla de la Innovación”, an area in the town of Avilés that is currently being completely refurbished to become the cultural and artistic reference place of the city.

Nowadays, ESAPA’s central building is the “Palacio de Camposagrado”, in the town center area. This palace was finished in the 17th century and it is considered to be the best example of Asturian Baroque.
