Calderón de la Barca Theatre

In the heart of Motril stands the Calderón de la Barca Theatre, one of the most emblematic cultural buildings in the city.

This neoclassical architectural jewel, built in the late 19th century and inaugurated in 1881, was born from the economic boom linked to sugar cane cultivation and the cultural drive of the local bourgeoisie.

Since its opening, the theatre has hosted performances, concerts, plays and events that have shaped Motril’s cultural life, becoming a reference for theatre and performing arts in the region.

Its elegant façade and Italian-style auditorium preserve a scenic heritage that has been restored and maintained to this day.

Visiting the Calderón de la Barca Theatre means discovering a symbol of history, culture and living creativity in Motril.

Motril. Culture that beats.
