Event Centre Plaza Mayor
From its areas, pavilions and exhibition and convention halls, Plaza Mayor is understood today as a platform for interaction and business; as a strategy for internationalisation.
From its first stone for the Yellow Pavilion, the trade fair and convention centre, until today, Plaza Mayor has been built in the heart of Medellín as a space to welcome the city, the country and the world through its most important events and meetings.
Parques del Río
It is a 71,800 sqm park of public space that integrated the city with its river to generate equity, competitiveness and sustainability. Of the total of this extensive urban infrastructure, 38,052 sqm correspond to green areas and 280 trees were planted there to provide citizens with a natural environment to strengthen Medellín as an eco-city and become an important refuge for various species of flora and fauna.
Walk through the two stages of the park located on the western and eastern sides of the Medellín River, which are connected by two bridges located at the southern and northern ends. Along the way you will not only be able to enjoy spaces full of nature, but also a vast range of cultural and gastronomic offerings.
