Palavela, formerly known as Palazzo delle Mostre and Palazzo a Vela is a 130 metros diameter indoor arena located in Turin, Italy, on the bank of the River Po.
It was designed by engineer Franco Levi and architects Annibale and Giorgio Rigotti for Italia 1961 Expo and redesigned by architect Gae Aulenti for the 2006 Winter Olympics.
It hosted the 2010 World Figure Skating Championships and the 2019 ISU Grand Prix Figure Skating Final.
