Pavilhão Carlos Lopes

Originally constructed by architects Carlos Rebelo de Andrade (1887-1971) and Guilherme Rebelo de Andrade (1891-1969) for the Rio de Janeiro Expo of 1922, this building was later transported to Lisbon and reconstructed, earning the name Palace of Exhibitions for an Industrial Exhibition held in 1932. Over the years, it has served as a venue for various cultural and sporting events, including the 1947 World Championship of Roller Hockey.

In 1984, it was renamed Pavilion Carlos Lopes in honour of the Portuguese athlete who won the gold medal in the marathon at the Los Angeles Olympics, Portugal's first-ever Olympic gold. Following a significant renovation in the early 2000s, Pavilion Carlos Lopes reopened in 2017 as a versatile venue for temporary exhibitions, events, shows, and formal dinners.
