Designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano, the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone is a spectacular cultural complex in Rome and the host venue for the IAU 2027 General Assembly.

​

The facility is famous for its striking modern architecture, featuring three massive, lead-roofed halls that resemble giant scarabs seamlessly integrated into a sprawling 30,000-square-meter urban park. With its state-of-the-art facilities and vibrant, inspiring atmosphere, this premier European cultural center provides an exceptional setting for the groundbreaking scientific exchanges of the CTAO Symposium.

 

Interestingly, the venue also bridges the future with the past, housing the archaeological remains of an ancient Roman villa that was discovered during its construction.
