Cidade da Cultura Review
More than 10 years in the making, Santiago's vast, new, striated-stone-and-glass City of Culture, on Mt. Gaiás, is set to whisk Galician culture into the future. The complex will include a theater for music and performing arts and an international arts center, though only the archive, library, and Museo de Galicia will be open as of early 2013. The design, by American architect Peter Eisenman, is based on the shape of a scallop shell, the emblem of St. James.
