Circulo Industrial de Alcoy, Cultural institution in central Alcoy, Spain
The Circulo Industrial de Alcoy is a building in Valencian Art Nouveau style located in the heart of town. Its facade displays ornamental details and forged railings, while the interior contains exhibition spaces, a library, and halls designed for gatherings and events.
The institution was founded in 1868 as a gathering place for local industrialists and entrepreneurs. In 1911 it relocated to its current building, which was designed by architect Timoteo Briet Montaud during a period of strong industrial growth in the town.
The name reflects the building's connection to the town's industrial heritage and the entrepreneurs who shaped it. The various halls and galleries today serve as spaces where the community gathers for cultural events and social occasions.
The building is centrally located and easy to reach on foot, with clearly marked entrances and well-organized interior spaces. Before visiting, it is helpful to check in advance about opening times and any events or exhibitions currently taking place.
Beneath the building lies an artificial grotto created in 1896 by builder Vicente Pascual Pastor, which now functions as a restaurant. This hidden underground space reflects the creativity and ambition of the original founders.
