It is the work of the architect Manuel de las Casas, who was entrusted with the project as an annex to the Pontevedra Auditorium and Convention Centre.

[1][2] The Exhibition Centre was managed from 1998 until 2020 by the autonomous body Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones, on behalf of the City Council of Pontevedra.

The tetrahedral-shaped building is made of steel with aluminium and glass finishes and has a total surface area of approximately 6,000 m2.

The tetrahedral-shaped building of the exhibition centre, with its hard, cold steel texture, aluminium walls and large windows, contrasts with the green slate slabs of the annex, the Pontevedra Congress Centre,[6] to which it has direct access from the inside, allowing great versatility in the joint use of all its rooms, so that the restaurant, cafeteria and terrace services are for shared use.

[13] In addition to this, the Pontevedra Trade Fair Centre is used for a wide range of leisure activities such as the installation of an ice rink at Christmas or the celebration of open-air concerts on the outdoor esplanades.
