Info
Corral de Comedias de Alcalá de Henares in Alcalá de Henares, Community of Madrid, Spain, is one of the oldest preserved theatres in Europe. Built in 1601-02 and designed to mirror the Corral de la Cruz in Madrid, the architect was Francisco
Sánchez.It was built as a corral de comedias, a courtyard theatre. However, it is no longer an open-air theater, like the Corral de comedias de Almagro, having been given a roof in a rebuilding in 1769. Following use as a teatro romántico in the 19th century, and a cinema in the early 20th century, which led to major changes in the building's architecture, the building has been restored.
