A protected 1930s building
About Teatro Coliseum
The Teatro Coliseum is on the ground floor of the Coliseum building on Gran Vía, built in the early 1930s to designs by Casto Fernández-Shaw and Pedro Muguruza for the composer Jacinto Guerrero. The building is protected as a Site of Cultural Interest and keeps its stained glass, allegorical paintings and copper light fittings; a full renovation lets it stage large musicals.
