The actual Palau Municipal d'Esports de Badalona, most frequently called the Pavello Olimpic de Badalona is an arena in Badalona, Spain. The arena holds 12,500 people, and it is primarily used for basketball, though it's also an habitual home for music concerts and other municipal events.
It's also the home arena of Joventut Badalona, one of the most important basketball squads in Spain and in all of Europe. Before the Pavello Olimpic was built, the former Palau Municipal (an older, now condemned building) hosted the city basketball games and most of the other indoor sports.
Built on 1992, it hosted the basketball tournament of the 1992 Summer Olympics.
