History

The construction started in 1961 and was inaugurated in 1975. Its dome was the first one made entirely of ceramics without building any pillar. As it is green, and has the form of a turtle shell, [2] it is commonly nicknamed as this animal. The indoor track has four lanes around the center and eight in the middle.

It was the main arena of the local rink hockey club CP Cibeles and the nowadays dissolved basketball teams CB Oviedo and CB Vetusta.

In June 2025, the Palacio de Deportes will be reinaugurated after the end of the works of its renovation and capacity expansion that started in 2024. [1]
