Auditorio Metropolitano^[1] (originally Auditorio Siglo XXI) is an indoor amphitheatre located in Puebla, Mexico. It was designed by famed Mexican architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez.^[2]

About

The venue was commissioned in 2001, with construction beginning in 2002. The music hall opened January 2005, as a part of the Centro de Convenciones Puebla William O. Jenkins. It was known for its facade made of talavera tiles. In 2014, the venue began a controversial renovation removing the tiles with tempered glass.^[3] These changes were protested by Vázquez's son. Renovations began September 2014. During this time, a contest was held to rename the concert venue. In December 2014, it was announced the name was changing to Auditorio Metropolitano.
