Pontevedra Exhibition Centre

The Pontevedra Exhibition Centre is a complex for events such as exhibitions, fairs and conventions. It is in the Rosalía de Castro Park, near the banks of the Lérez River in Pontevedra, Galicia (Spain). History The exhibition centre was built in 1997, on the initiative of the Galician Government, with a modern architecture. It is the work of the architect Manuel de las Casas, who was entrusted with the project as an annex to the Pontevedra Auditorium and Convention Centre. He presented the project that best integrated the two buildings, achieving harmony between the whole complex and the spaces on the banks of the Lérez. The Exhibition Centre was inaugurated on 17 December 1998 and opened to the public with the Pomóvil Automobile Fair inaugurated by the President of the Xunta de Galicia. The Exhibition Centre was managed from 1998 until 2020 by the autonomous body Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones, on behalf of the City Council of Pontevedra.
