Palacio Valdes Theatre's Rich Legacy

Situated in Avilés, Asturias, the Palacio Valdes Theatre is a testament to early 20th-century architecture. Built in the neobaroque style, it showcases a unique longitudinal layout adjusted to its site constraints.

Founded on 5 August 1900 with contributions from renowned local writer Clarín, the theatre faced construction delays due to financial challenges and finally opened in 1920, named after local writer Armando Palacio Valdés. It hosted diverse performances, including cinema until its closure in 1972. After a period of restoration, it reopened in 1992, and in 1982, was declared a 'Bien de Interés Cultural'.
