Main room

Main room is a spectacular auditorium located on the level 0 in the central part of the building. The main room consists of a main hall, on which, if necessary, the audience is set up from chairs and mobile stands. In the case of trade fair events and standing concerts, the flat surface of the hall remains empty. Semi-circular recesses of the main room are filled with balconies, which together with chairs on the main hall create a concert, sports or congress audience. The Centennial Hall is the only building on the UNESCO World Heritage List in the world, which can boast with having such a functionality.

Depending on the needs and the type of event, also conference or banquet tables may be set up in the main room. Thanks to the multifunctionality of this space, we are proud of the fact that the Centennial Hall hosts not only concerts and music festivals, but also banquets and balls for over 1000 people, congresses and conferences, and even sports events or shows on ice. In addition, the high load capacity of the floor, which is 1500 kg/m2, allows the entry of cars or high volume stands. Height of the dome from the main floor level is 42 m. The top-level events can be accommodated here.
