The Palacio de Festivales de Cantabria, located in Santander, Spain, is a prominent concert hall and conference center. Designed by architect Francisco Mangado, it opened in 2014 and quickly became a landmark building on the Bay of Santander. The venue’s design incorporates a distinctive cantilevered roof structure intended to evoke the image of waves.

The Palacio hosts a diverse range of performances including orchestral concerts, opera, ballet, and musical theatre. It serves as a key venue for the annual Santander Festival (Festival Internacional de Santander), one of Spain’s longest-running classical music festivals. The hall's main auditorium boasts excellent acoustics and a capacity of approximately 1,500 seats. The building also includes smaller spaces for chamber music and other events.
