One of the most peculiar squares in Madrid is undoubtedly Plaza de la Cebada. With its striking irregular shape, nestled between the Cebada Market and the La Latina Theatre, it lies in the historic centre of the Spanish capital. In the 16th century, this area accommodated an open-air market mainly selling cereals and vegetables. From the 17th to the 19th centuries, it became a venue for several public events, including executions.

Despite being more compact than in the past, the square includes a small intersection formed by several streets, featuring a charming fountain in the middle. Among the various constructions, the Market stands out with its colourful facade and arched canopy roofs, having operated for nearly 150 years. The numerous stalls showcase a wide range of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, seafood, as well as clothing and fashion accessories.

La Cebada Municipal Sports Centre was recently inaugurated in this square. It is equipped with swimming pools, a gym and open-air spaces to offer its members, young and old, a wide variety of sports and recreational activities for complete psychophysical well-being. In line with its commitment to modernity and innovation, the municipality aimed to illuminate the facility with a cutting-edge and efficient lighting system. Therefore, they reached out to Disano, a leading Italian company specializing in the manufacturing and design of lighting solutions for both indoor and outdoor sports facilities, which offered a diverse range of fixtures.

Different luminaires – Argon, Cripto, Micro Rodio, Rodio and Box – were chosen based on their installation locations, each fitted with advanced LED sources.

The use of the latest LED technology is a guarantee for precise, constant and visually comfortable light, which results in several benefits, from significantly reduced energy and maintenance costs to excellent colour rendering and a stable (low flicker) and glare-free light flux.

The Plaza de la Cebada sports centre now boasts unparalleled lights, ensuring top-notch quality, efficiency, safety, and precision, all backed by Disano‘s expertise.
