About the place

Commercial life on Isla de La Cartuja clusters around Cajasol Tower, an office skyscraper designed by César Pelli.

The skyscraper dominates the regional skyline as its tallest structure, designed by architect César Pelli after an international design contest. Erected on the southern grounds of Isla de La Cartuja, the development replaced the former Pavilion of Discoveries after extensive redevelopment. The site houses corporate office space, an adjoining shopping centre, the CaixaForum exhibition venue, and hotel rooms.
