History
It is one of the oldest permanent cinemas in the Spanish capital. It was opened on May 10, 1916. However, its current appearance barely resembles the original. It was built on land belonging to the Ministry of Public Works, which until the Mendizábal confiscation had been occupied by the convent of the Calzados Trinitarians. The premises, designed by the architect José Espelius Anduaga, had a capacity for almost three thousand spectators. The neighbouring Calderón Theatre, which would open a year later, had not yet opened, nor did the Fígaro Theatre, which opened in 1931.
