Teatre l'Agrícola
A municipal theatre built in the early 20th century as the assembly hall of the local athenaeum, beside the headquarters of Alboraya's Agricultural-Industrial Society. After spells as a cinema (Monterrey, Lumiere), it was restored and reopened in February 1997 as the Teatre Municipal l'Agrícola. Today it is the town's main performance venue, with theatre, concerts and film all year round.
It reopened its doors in February 1997, but the story goes back to the early 20th century, when it was built as the assembly hall of the local athenaeum, beside the headquarters of Alboraya's Agricultural-Industrial Society. Today the Teatre l'Agrícola is the main performance venue in Alboraya.
From assembly hall to cinema and theatre
Before its revival it served for a time as a cinema, under names such as Monterrey and Lumiere, a path shared by many Valencian village theatres. The 1990s restoration returned it to the stage as the Teatre Municipal l'Agrícola.
