Theaters Andalusia

Inaugurated in January 2008 and located in the old part of Jaén, it is a theatre with an avant-garde architecture of 5,000 m² whose volumes have integrated part of the wall of the Puerta del Aceituno, covering them with white stone. It is also one of the most technologically advanced in Spain and has a main hall that can accommodate 800 spectators. It is here that much of the city's cultural programming takes place: dance, classical and lyrical music, zarzuelas... but also congresses and conventions.

Built in 1926 by the architect Teodoro Anasagasti on the initiative of the Marquis of Villamarta, it was restored in 1996 to accommodate all kinds of activities: opera, theater, ballet, flamenco, classical music. It is also the venue for two of the city's most important cultural events: the Jerez Flamenco Festival (February and March) and the theater program of the Centro Lírico del Sur. When you arrive, you'll notice its modernist-style facade, with some Gaudinian reminiscences.
