Theater
4.7/5
6 reviews

Created in 1880, this association has found refuge in an Art Deco building, the work of the architect Antonio Palacios Ramilo, which alone is worth a visit. In addition to the exhibition rooms, the cultural centre has a theatre, where new plays on contemporary subjects are performed, as well as a cinema-studio where films of different origins and genres are shown. After a nice visit, the best thing to do is to enjoy a coffee at l'Azotea while taking in the panoramic view of the whole of Madrid from the roof of the building.
