It was built in 1898 by architect Enrique López Rull and could not be finalized until 1921 due to financial problems.

The idea of building the Companies Circle arose from the need for a center to be able to meet to coordinate and control the economy of the region. In 1887 the Companies Circle emerges as an entity. The building of the Mercantile Circle comes at the same time as the Teatro Cervantes. For its construction, which it will house the two entities, in 1862 a group of businessmen and politicians decide Almeria raise funds to create a society (1864) that made the project possible.

The Noble Hall, located on the first floor, was decorated in the style adamesco due to the name of its creators, brothers and British architects Robert, John, James and William Adam. The decoration was entrusted to the Valencian Timothy Villalba (1920). Currently, it is used for meetings, dances and other events.

Among them, we can mention some of the first shares issued to finance the construction of the Teatro Cervantes and one of the propaganda leaflets announcing the disastrous performance of the play "St. Elizabeth of Ceres.", where it was murdered the famous actress Conchita Almeria Robles.
