Corral De Comedias De Almagro
About
The Corral de Comedias de Almagro is a living monument of Spanish theatre history, the only surviving theatre that retains its original 17th‑century façade. Built originally as an inn‑theatre, its stone‑based courtyard—spanning 300 m² and supported by 54 wooden pillars—provides a stunning, intimate stage that still hosts performances as part of the International Classical Theatre Festival held each year. With a seating capacity of 300, the theatre offers visitors a unique chance to experience world‑class productions in a setting that feels as if it were a time capsule from the Baroque era. A short walk from the historic city centre, the venue combines architectural splendor with the vibrancy of contemporary Spanish drama. In addition to its cultural significance, the theatre’s location in Almagro—a town celebrated for its well‑preserved historic centre—makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking a blend of architectural heritage and live performance. Visitors can enjoy the theatre’s intimate atmosphere, learn about its rich history through guided tours, and catch a world‑famous festival that draws actors from across Europe.
