Circulo Amistad Numancia, Social club building in Soria, Spain.
Círculo Amistad Numancia is a building on Collado Street featuring multiple floors with spaces for meetings, reading, and cultural events. The rooms serve members of the community for social and artistic purposes.
The building was founded in 1848 as Casino de Numancia by members of the city's middle class. Later it merged in 1961 with Círculo de la Amistad, creating the institution that exists today.
The Mirror Hall retains its nineteenth-century design, while upper floors display frescoes painted by Julio del Val in 1901. These artistic elements shape the character of the place and reflect the artistic passion of those who created it.
The building is accessible on most days for tours or external events, though it primarily serves its members. It is recommended to check in advance whether visits are possible, as access depends on scheduled activities.
The building houses a Steinway piano from 1872 that is still played regularly and serves as a symbol of musical tradition. The same space also holds a museum celebrating the work of regional poets such as Antonio Machado.
