Don’t miss this magnificent building on your route exploring Modernist architecture in Sueca.

The Ateneo Sueco del Socorro, in Sueca, Valencia, is a building designed by Joan Guardiola in 1929 as the headquarters of the institution founded in 1869, and it remains a cultural and artistic landmark in the town.

Features of the Ateneo Sueco del Socorro in Sueca

The main façade of the Ateneo in Sueca draws inspiration from Eastern art, freely reinterpreted by the architect, while the interior stands out for its mural paintings by Regino Mas and Alfred Claros, as well as an impressive lamp originally from the foyer of the Teatro Serrano.

This is a notable example of Sueca’s architectural heritage, recognised for its internal layout, mezzanine level, and the careful composition and decoration of both exterior and interior spaces, which make the building an essential stop on the city’s Modernist route.
