At 400,000 square meters of indoor space and 93,000 meters of outdoor space, it was one of the largest event grounds in Latin America. The center was home to 20+ large annual fairs, each drawing in excess of 50,000 visitors, and hosts the annual Carnival of São Paulo. It was built in 1970 by the Companhia Brasileira Fichet & Schwartz Hautmont, under the engineer Raymond Faure and architect Jorge Wilheim.[2] It was demolished in 2023.[1]
