A number of buildings were completed for the occasion. Notably, Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station was completed in 1912 in time for the exposition,[5] and was situated opposite the new hotel, Flandria Palace.[6] The park, Citadelpark, was also redesigned for the fair. The exposition was held on an area of {{convert|130|ha}}, which was larger than Expo 58 in Brussels.[7] Various Belgian cities had a pavilion and an artificial town, called "Oud Vlaenderen" (Old Flanders) was created.[8] The four sons of Aymon statue, depicting Reinout, Adelaert, Ritsaert and Writsaert on their horse, Beyaert, was erected on the central approach avenue to the exposition.[9]In preparation for the exhibition, renovations were made in the centre of Ghent, including a large number of houses on the Graslei.[10][11] Some years beforen the neo-gothic St Michael's Bridge had been built to provide visitors to the exhibition with a vantage point to view the town,[12] the post office[13] and the Korenmarkt (Wheat Market) had been built, and the carved heads now arrayed around it represented the rulers who attended the exhibition (including Florence Nightingale).[12] The construction of the exhibition was controversial and ended on the eve of World War I with serious debts.[14] During the fair, an international conference on urban planning was held, organised by Paul Saintenoy, Emile Vinck, and Paul Otlet.[1] Belgium's first aerial postage service was operated from 1 May to 25 August by Henri Crombez during the exposition.[15] The Ghent fair was attended, among many others, by the much traveled Greek confectionnaire Leonidas Kestekides, and it was then that he decided to settle permanently in Belgium and found the internationally famous Leonidas company.
