Teatro Rojas

The initial design for the theater was created by municipal architect Luis Antonio Fenech, who submitted the plans and accompanying documents to the city council in 1866.

Following Fenech's death, Ramiro Amador de los Ríos, son of José Amador de los Ríos, was appointed municipal architect and immediately took charge of completing the demolition of the old theater.

Building on Fenech's original layout, which positioned the main façade towards the square and aligned the hall and the stage along the site’s long axis, Amador de los Ríos introduced several innovations.

In the following years, three more architects succeeded Amador de los Ríos, though none altered the existing design.

The theater was officially inaugurated on October 19, 1879, with a performance of Francisco de Rojas's honor drama, Del Rey abajo ninguno.
