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]}

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 Palacio de la Exposición de Valencia [es], Silo de la Lactancia, Palace of Industry, Light fountain of the Exposición Regional Valenciana, and the Bridge of the Exposición Regional Valenciana 1909.^[6]
