The Valencian Regional Exhibition was held in Valencia in 1909, the year before a national exhibition.[1]

The fair was organised by the Commercial Athenaeum of Valencia, and ran from 22 May to 22 December 1909.[2]

Legacy[]

The Valencian anthem, Himne de l'Exposició, was composed for the exhibition.[citation needed]

Architecture[]

The reinforced concrete Bridge of the Exposición Regional Valenciana 1909 was built, and remained until destroyed by a flood in 1957.[3]

Three buildings were decided in advance of the fair to be retained: the Municipal Palace; the Nursing Home and the Industry Palace.[4]

The municipal palace was designed by Francisco Mora Berenguer and built in 70 days.[5]
