The Sacra Infermeria Hall is an extraordinary and magnificent space. It covers a total of 1,700 square metres and is 155 metres long. It can accommodate 100 exhibition stands of 9 square metres each. If more space is needed, another two halls can be used to provide a further 1,700 square metres of exhibition space between them. Fairs and expositions of all sorts can be comfortably set up here. This dramatic space is also very versatile. It can be used as a banqueting hall accommodating 1,400 guests seated to dinner or 2,500 for a stand-up cocktail-style reception. This hall was once the Long Ward of the Sacra Infermeria. It is one of the longest halls in Europe and was recognised as an architectural feat in the 16th century when it was constructed.
