Since its opening on March 2, 1991, Casa de Cultura has become the central meeting point for the local community.

Mayor Vicente Arques stressed that after all these years, the basic vision is still standing:

“Making culture accessible to all citizens. This anniversary is a tribute to all those who have made culture the true trademark of l’Alfàs.”

Program of the anniversary morning

Doors open to the public at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday. The official program is as follows:

• 10:00 a.m. – Panel Discussion:

  • Led by journalist Gemma Mateos key figures in the center’s history look back over the past 35 years;

  • Guests are the original architect Javier Gómez Morata, former culture councilor Vicente Pérez (1991) and former director Vicente Escrig (1991-2023).

• 11:00 am – Book launch: official launch of the publication “L’Alfàs es Cultura” (sponsored by Veolia), a work that maps the cultural evolution and identity of the municipality.

L’Alfàs del Pi breathes culture

The celebration is not an isolated one. L’Alfàs del Pi is considered an absolute pioneer in the region in terms of culture, leisure activities and the protection of historical heritage.

The municipality now has 14 cultural venues and organizes 12 regular festivals every year (such as the famous Film Festival, Mozartmanía and l’Alfàs & Jazz).

More cultural venues & anniversaries

Moreover, Casa de Cultura is not the only venue with something to celebrate; as many as six cultural venues in the municipality are celebrating a special anniversary this year:

• Escuelas Viejas – 100th anniversary

• Social Center Platja Albir – 15-year anniversary

• La Cantera – 10th anniversary

• Museo de la Villa Romana & Centro de l’Albir – Jubilee heritage sites

Many of these sites are housed in old, repurposed buildings that now have regional quality labels.

The mayor calls on all residents and associations to join in the celebration and look back on 35 years of shared culture on Thursday (May 21).
