This year, 2009, is being celebrated at Valencia the 100th Anniversary of the Valencia Regional Exhibition of 1909. At that time, Valencia took the initiative to promote the city in search of greater prestige and following the model initiated by other major European cities (London, 1855, Barcelona 1888, Paris 1902).
Once completed, the vast exhibition center was demolished with the exception of several buildings, between them this "Palacio de la Exposición." At the present time and until the end of August, it includes a complete exposition of the event and at the end you can visit the main hall of the palace, where was held several official parades.
This panoramic view, shown in black and white, represents the memory of the typical postcard that Valencians usually associate with this event. Most of them do not know where this building is located.
