In the center of the Citadel Park, close to the Sint-Pieters station in Ghent, the Floraliën Hall forms the heart of a building cluster including S.M.A.K., Kuipke and an International Congress Centre, the ICC. The Floraliën hall, build for the 19th World Fair of 1913 as an ‘Eeuwfeestpaleis’ was the very first MICE venue in Belgium. After a sequence of adaptions, this ‘Eeuwfeestpaleis’ has become unrecognizable. As well as the park, both Floraliën hall and ICC are in need for a renovation.
