Circulo Industrial de Alcoy, Cultural institution in central Alcoy, Spain

The Circulo Industrial de Alcoy is a Valencian Art Nouveau building at 19 Sant Nicolau street, in the old town centre. The architect Timoteo Briet Montaud designed it in 1909 and construction finished in 1911. Its balconies have forged railings, and floral and geometric ornaments decorate the facade, with Hellenistic female figures on the top floor. Inside are a library, a rotunda hall and a grotto.

The Círculo Industrial de Alcoy was founded on 1 January 1868 to link the town's businessmen, industrialists and middle classes. Its history mirrors Alcoy's economic and industrial past. The present building, designed by Timoteo Briet Montaud, dates from 1909 and was completed in 1911.

The name refers to the industrial circle that founded the institution in 1868 as a meeting point for Alcoy's business owners and middle class. The interior rooms, such as the library and the rotunda hall, still host cultural and social activities. The oriental-style paintings in the rotunda hall are by Adolfo Morrió and his father Joaquín Morrió.

The building stands at 19 Carrer de Sant Nicolau, in the old town centre of Alcoy. Visitors can reach it on foot from the Plaça d'Espanya; the facade is recognisable by its light green tones and forged balconies. As a private cultural institution, access to the interior depends on the activities held there, so it is advisable to check the programme in advance.

The grotto in the basement of the rotunda hall was made in 1896 by the Alcoy architect Vicente Pascual Pastor, before Timoteo Briet Montaud designed the present building in 1909–1911. The rotunda hall itself is Briet's work, and its oriental-style paintings are by Adolfo Morrió and his father Joaquín Morrió.
