The elegant Palazzo dei Congressi, completed in 1975, stands on a historically significant place for city exchanges and entertainment. Piazza dell'Indipendenza (formerly Piazza Castello) is in fact the ancient seat of the centuries-old Lugano cattle fair founded in 1513, as well as an area where acrobats and, subsequently, itinerant cinemas took place. During the 1800s the boundaries of the square were delimited on one side by the construction of Villa Ciani, the park and the farm buildings used as a riding school by the Ciani brothers; on the other, by the construction of the Casermette, the town seat of the fire station. On the initiative of the Pro Lugano and with the support of the Municipality, in 1958 it was decided to demolish the riding school and the barracks to allow the construction of a modern and central Palazzo dei Congressi. Begun in 1968 and completed in 1975, the Palazzo dei Congressi has hosted international conferences, conferences, shows and concerts since its opening. Today the building is an integral part of the urban fabric, in contact on the one hand with the financial, recreational and hotel infrastructures, and on the other with the Parco Ciani, the lakeside and other structures of Lugano Convention & amp; Exhibition.
