Monument · Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Gran Canaria - Área Metropolitana, Las Palmas

Cultural society founded on 1 March 1844 as the Gabinete Literario de Fomento y de Recreo de Las Palmas, on the site of the old Cairasco theater on Calle Mayor de Triana. Its striking Modernista façade, topped by two towers with domes, is the work of the architects Fernando Navarro and Rafael Massanet. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's top heritage-protection category) in 1985.
