"La Glorieta es el parque público urbano más antiguo de Alcoy, (Alicante), Comunidad Valenciana. Se encuentra situado en la plaza de Ramón y Cajal, en el casco histórico de Alcoy, con una verja de hierro que muestra el motivo modernista art nouveau del latiguillo.

La Glorieta fue construida en el año 1836 sobre unos terrenos pertenecientes al huerto del convento de San Francisco, fundado en 1569 y afectado por la desamortización de Mendizábal en 1835.

La Glorieta ha experimentado varias reformas, siendo la más característica e importante de todas la realizada en 1899 por el arquitecto alcoyano Vicente Pascual Pastor, que creó un gran paseo de circunvalación sobre un espacio elíptico dividido en tres grandes avenidas, que a su vez están subdivididas con parterres a la inglesa.

En la reforma del año 1899 el alumbrado de la Glorieta fue diseñado por el ingeniero alcoyano José Cort Merita."

"La Glorieta is the oldest urban public park in Alcoy, (Alicante), Valencian Community. It is located in the Ramón y Cajal square, in the historic center of Alcoy, with an iron fence that shows the art nouveau modernist motif of the hose.

La Glorieta was built in 1836 on land belonging to the orchard of the convent of San Francisco, founded in 1569 and affected by the confiscation of Mendizábal in 1835.

La Glorieta has undergone several reforms, the most characteristic and important of all being the one carried out in 1899 by the architect Vicente Pascual Pastor from Alcoy, who created a large ring road on an elliptical space divided into three large avenues, which in turn are subdivided with English flowerbeds.

In the reform of the year 1899, the lighting of the Glorieta was designed by the Alcoy engineer José Cort Merita."
