Palau de l'Exposició, Modernist palace in Valencia, Spain
The Palau de l'Exposició is a three-story building in Valencian Art Nouveau style located at Plaza de Galicia, constructed from brick and concrete. The structure features elaborate decorative elements and was originally designed to serve as an exhibition hall.
Built in 1909 by architect Francesc Mora i Berenguer, the building hosted the Regional Exhibition of 1909 and the National Exhibition of 1910. Its rapid completion marked a significant moment in Valencia's urban development.
The building blends civil, religious, and military Gothic elements through wrought iron details, ceramics, and stained glass windows. These decorative touches reflect the craftsmanship that shaped Valencia's modernist style.
The building is accessible via metro lines L5 and L7 and sits in a central location within the city. Visitors should check current access conditions before arriving, as visiting times may vary.
The palace was completed in just seventy days, transforming from a temporary structure into a permanent architectural landmark. This remarkable speed allowed Valencia to quickly establish an exhibition venue for major national events.
