Located in the heart of Manama, just walking distance from the old 'Souq', La Fontaine Centre of Contemporary Art is a unique cultural landmark housed in a restored 19th-century mansion that blends European chateau elegance with authentic Gulf Islamic architecture. Renovated by French artist Jean Marc Sinan, the center features contemporary art galleries, an open-air amphitheater, a fine dining restaurant, an exclusive spa, and a Pilates studio—the first of its kind in the Gulf. Owned by the Alireza family, La Fontaine is celebrated for its architectural beauty and as a hub for art, leisure, and cultural events in Bahrain, as it continues to host a diverse range of local and international artists.
