Centro Cultural Las Cigarreras

Art Galleries

Eclectic cultural center: exhibitions, concerts, book presentations, movies, theater, music ... in short, a wide and varied cultural offer in the city of Alicante. The center promotes creative, cultural, artistic and leisure activities, with almost three thousand square meters, houses spaces equipped with the idea that young people can develop their hobbies with support of appropriate means. It has the first vertical garden of Alicante, with a height of 25 meters. The popular Tabacalera, created at the beginning of the 19th century, forms an outstanding architectural ensemble of urban heritage. Work center of thousands of workers for two centuries, the factory is part of the collective imagination of several generations of Alicante. With the transfer of the tobacco production to the outskirts, the old factory of the center was at the municipal disposal. The restoration campaign for three of the factory's warehouses, where the Las Cigarreras Cultural Center is currently housed, has turned them into a cultural platform of the first order in Spain. These spaces already function as a Contemporary Culture ship, where the Black Box is located, a multifunctional auditorium to host musical and theatrical performances, a Cultural Heritage building and a House of Music. To this we must add the Vertical Garden, made outdoors.
