Teatro Segura

The Teatro Manuel Ascencio Segura is a theatre and concert hall located in the Jirón Huancavelica of Lima, Peru.

First built in 1615, it is considered the oldest theatre in Latin America.

In 1615 an open-air theatre (Corral de comedias) was built on the same spot where the Teatro Segura is located.

This original open-air theatre was destroyed by an earthquake on 1746 and rebuilt a year later.

The name was changed in 1929 to "Teatro Manuel Ascencio Segura", after the Teatro Municipal de Lima was bought by the Municipality of Lima.
