Guided tours of La Térmica Cultural: get to know our facilities

La Térmica Cultural is a space created and managed from Ponferrada by the City of Energy Foundation (CIUDEN) through the Institute for Just Transition (ITJ). We are in the former facilities of the Compostilla I thermal power plant, a place that, 50 years after ceasing its industrial activity, is now reborn as a multipurpose center dedicated to the arts, knowledge and professional training. And the fact is that, just like the energy produced in its entrails, culture is in constant transformation and sets societies on the road to the future. Because La Térmica Cultural has been, is and will be Incandescent Culture.
