MIXED PAVILION
This building located within the Citadel premises has two levels intended to host art exhibitions. Solo and group exhibitions are displayed here, focusing on heritage, art, history or architecture. Entry to these exhibitions is free. This historic building was built in 1680, and held a cellar in the lower floor and a grain and food supplies depot in the upper level. It was redesigned in 1720 by engineer Sala.
It has two irregular rectangular floor plans, each one consisting of two vaulted naves connected by arched openings in the central wall. The building is made of old stone and brick. It is supported by ten buttresses on the west side and eight on the east side. The lower floor is a semi-basement standing 1.25 metres below ground level. The two naves on the lower floor or semi-basement have ribbed vaults and the two naves on the first floor have barrel vaults. The building has temperature and humidity control systems, plus a radio frequency fire and/or smoke detection system.
