The building houses many of the Galician administration's departments and was designed by the architects Manuel Gallego Jorreto and Jacobo Rodríguez-Losada Allende.

[1] The Administrative Complex of Pontevedra is located at 43 Avenida María Victoria Moreno in the Campolongo district.

The building, designed to bring together the administrative services of the Galician Government in the province of Pontevedra, which until then had been scattered throughout the city, was envisaged as early as the 1990s, but it was not until the early 2000s that the idea was finally implemented.,[2][3] On 12 June 2002 Pontevedra City Council and the Spanish Ministry of Defence signed an agreement[4] to transform the site of the former Campolongo barracks (dating back to 1924 for expropriations[5] and 1933 for the construction work[6]) into an administrative and residential complex.

The Galician Government chose the project by architects Manuel Gallego Jorreto and Jacobo Rodríguez-Losada Allende and the construction company San José to build its new headquarters in Pontevedra.

[9] Work on the administrative complex began in April 2005[10] and the demolition of the former artillery barracks was completed in July 2005.
