The oldest theatre in Europe

The comedy playhouse is also known as the “Corral de Zapateros” (shoemakers playhouse). This is a unique building in the West, a building in which public plays have been performed for more than four centuries. It was constructed in 1601 as an open-air playhouse, in 1769 it became a roofed coliseum and, in 1831, a Romanesque theatre. It always held the philosophy of being a place in which the works of the Golden Age authors could be enjoyed.
