About Spanish City

Spanish City in Whitley Bay was built as a smaller take on Blackpool's Pleasure Beach. It opened in 1910 with a concert hall, restaurant, roof garden and tearoom. A ballroom followed in 1920, and later a permanent funfair. Today it is a dining and leisure centre near the seafront.

The building is known for its 180-foot Renaissance-style frontage and its distinctive dome, which is Grade II listed. Towers stand on either side of the entrance, each topped by a half-life-size copper figure, one with cymbals and the other with a tambourine.

  • Grade II listed dome on the Whitley Bay seafront
  • Copper figures with cymbals and tambourine at the entrance
