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]
The Valencian anthem, Himne de l'Exposició, was composed for the exhibition.
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]
Buildings of the exhibit include the, Silo de la Lactancia, Palace of Industry, Light fountain of the Exposición Regional Valenciana, and the Bridge of the Exposición Regional Valenciana 1909.[6]
