Pala Invent - Pala Arrex

🇮🇹 Pala Invent (formerly: Pala Arrex / Palazzo del Turismo) 

Overview and current role

Pala Invent is one of Jesolo's most important multifunctional event venues, located in the heart of the city at Piazza Brescia 11. The sports hall is exceptionally modern, built of steel, glass and light, and has a floor area of more than 15,000 m², which makes it possible to host large-scale sporting events, concerts, exhibitions, and conferences.

The facility is also known as the "grandi eventi nel cuore di Jesolo Lido" (the home of major events in the center of Jesolo) and is indeed one of the most important venues for cultural and sporting events in the city.

History and name changes

The sports hall was previously known as Pala Arrex – This is confirmed by several official sources, which note that the facility described under the name PalaInvent is identical to the former Pala Arrex.

Over the years, the hall was renovated, modernized, and given a new image under the name Pala Invent. The aim of the change was to strengthen the city's role as a tourist and event center, and the Invent brand name was the result of a sponsorship collaboration.

Another name for the hall is "Palazzo del Turismo", which emphasizes its function as a local event center – several maps and descriptions also identify the building with this name. Architectural features
