Edificio Gonzalo Mejía

The Edificio Gonzalo Mejía was an Art Nouveau hotel, theatre, and commercial building in Medellín, Colombia standing from 1924 to 1967.

Designed by the Belgian architect Agustín Goovaerts in 1922, the building contained the Hotel Europa and a theatre dedicated to showing movies along with other commercial clients.

Local businessman Gonzalo Mejía developed the building starting in 1922, wanting to bring a luxury hotel and theatre to the town.

The Junín theatre closed in October 1967 after a showing of the movie Arizona Colt, with demolition proceeding a week later.
