Landmark
The Movistar Arena in Bogotá is an ultra-modern multipurpose indoor arena evolved from the former Coliseo El Campín. Following a comprehensive renovation, it reopened in October 2018 and has since been considered one of the most advanced entertainment venues in South America. The arena is located right next to the El Campín football stadium and has a capacity for up to 14,000 spectators. The architecture stands out with its striking LED facade, which glows in various colors at night and defines the cityscape. Thanks to its excellent acoustics and technical equipment, the Movistar Arena is the preferred venue for international concerts, sporting events such as tennis or basketball, and corporate events. The project was the first public-private partnership in entertainment infrastructure in Colombia and has established Bogotá as a key stop for world tours.
