La Romareda welcomes its first visitors with Open House: this is how the guided tour unfolded

The metal fences surrounding what will become La Romareda’s future stadium have not curbed curiosity about the imposing structure gradually rising opposite Hospital Clínico. This Thursday 24, around 120 lucky visitors crossed the construction site perimeter for the first time to see up close how work on the new facility is progressing.
La Romareda welcomes its first visitors with Open House: this is how the guided tour unfolded

The visit was part of Open House Zaragoza 2026, the international architecture festival that is allowing people to discover the city’s buildings, spaces and projects from a different perspective over these days. The initiative aims to bring architecture closer to the public through tours of places that are not usually open to visitors.

A UNIQUE GUIDED TOUR

The new La Romareda was one of the main attractions of this year’s festival and one of the first activities offered by Open House to sell out. All 120 places available for the stadium tour were taken up amid strong interest in seeing the progress of the work firsthand.

During the tour, participants were able to learn firsthand about the architectural, design and construction details of the Ibercaja Romareda stadium. The visit offered an opportunity to get close to the project while work continues and to observe how the future stadium is taking shape. Attendees were able to see on site some of the features that will define the venue and check the current state of the work.

The experience also included access to a particularly significant area: the lower stand at the South Goal. This space, still part of a construction site, allowed visitors to view the stadium from inside and gain a different perspective on the transformation La Romareda is undergoing.

Open House Zaragoza 2026 continues its program through September 27, although many of the activities have already reached capacity. During these days, the festival continues to offer various tours and visits to buildings and spaces across the city, providing opportunities to discover Zaragoza’s architecture and explore places that are not usually open to the public.
