A CINEMA HISTORY
Built in 1926 by Luis Gutiérrez Soto, the historic building of Callao Cinemas is the highest example of the capital’s Art Deco architecture. It was launched as a cinema on December 11th of the same year, with the film ‘Luis Candelas, el bandido de Madrid’.
A legendary building
The cinema was designed in the purest American style of the time, without aristocratic boxes and with a full view from all its seats, then 1.300. Its terrace housed a summer cinema until the Civil War outbreak r in 1936.
The building’s basement, designed to house a cabaret, was turned into a billiard room with 32 tables and an American bar, a collective dining room during the Civil War, a night club in the 1980s and a cinema from 1998 onwards.
Since then, the building contains two halls (with maximum capacity around 1.200 spectators) and has incorporated the latest advances in sound, image and lighting.
