Royal Cloth Factory of Alcoi

Former textile factory of Alcoi, also known as la casa de la Bolla, testimony to the historic importance of cloth manufacturing in the city. After the War of the Spanish Succession (1705-1707), in which Alcoi had backed the losing side, King Philip V granted it privileges as part of the policy of economic revival of the city. The building was refurbished in 1890 by the architect Vicente Pascual Pastor, as part of the successive adaptations that accompanied the development of the local textile industry.
