The theater has humble beginnings in the fair booth of what had been a warehouse, which slowly transformed into a brick building in 1904. During the 20th century, several of Barcelona’s most well-known theaters found space on the same Parallel Avenue and the area soon came to be known as the ‘theater district’. Patrons especially enjoyed the mega-sized wooden cutouts of the characters and artists on the facade. In the fifties & sixties, the space was dedicated to the musical revue and enjoyed widespread acclaim. Later, in 1991, the land was transferred to its new owners and a hotel was constructed in its place, along with a dedicated section reserved for the theater.

• Style: The building has a largely neo-classical style, while the facade features art-deco-style stepped form frames.
  
• Interior: Mainly modern and simplistic, some of the decorative elements are quite unique - like the pyramid-patterned central light inside the theater room.
  
• Notable Features: The entrance features a remarkable fresco painting as a part of the front wall, depicting various performers.
