Ciudad de la Justicia de Pontevedra

The Judicial Complex of Pontevedra is located to the west of the A Parda district and can be accessed via Hortas and Francisco Tomás y Valiente streets.

[2] After a delay of several years, on 18 April 1995 the project for a new building for the city's courts, designed by the architect Fernando Martínez Sarandeses, was presented.

[3] The planned eight-storey building was to be erected behind the Palace of Justice in the Campolongo district, on the site of the present-day Libertad Square.

[4] This second courthouse was designed by the architects Gustavo and Lucas Díaz and Naiara Montero and its construction began on 1 August 2016.

The building is surrounded by tall columns on the first two floors on the south, east and west façades, which act as an entrance portico.

[15] The building, with open spaces, has an irregular hexagonal shape and is centred around a large courtyard lit from above by skylights.

[7] The façade is designed with serial openings and bevelled planes with vertical slats that protect the glass walls from the sun.
